The RØDE M3 is a versatile condenser microphone designed for use in the studio, on stage and outdoors. It is equally suited to recording guitars, drums and vocals.
With a rugged metal body and a 1/2" condenser capsule with a built-in shock mount, the microphone can be powered by either P48 phantom power or a 9V battery.
A -10dB and -20dB pad, selectable inside the battery compartment, lets you record loud sources such as guitar amps and drums. An 80 Hz high-pass filter, selectable from the power switch, reduces low-frequency sound and handling noise.
