RØDE NT3
Best versatile condenser for studio and location recording professionals.
This is the rare studio-grade condenser that doesn't tether you to a wall. Its battery-powered flexibility makes it a powerhouse for location recording, though you trade the ultra-delicate sensitivity of fragile studio-only mics for a rugged, tank-like build that can survive almost anything.
