Product Description

The RØDE M3 is a highly versatile condenser microphone powered by 9V battery or phantom power.

Featuring a heavy duty metal body and internally shock mounted 1/2" condenser capsule mounted for end-address, the M3 is at home in the studio, on stage or on location and is equally suitable as a vocal microphone, guitar microphone, drum microphone or presenter microphone.

A -10dB and -20dB level attenuation (or PAD), selectable from inside the battery compartment, allows recording of loud sound sources, such as a guitar amplifier or drum. A high-pass filter selectable on the microphone power switch introduces a filter at 80Hz to reduce low frequency sounds and handling noise.

The RØDE M3 versatile multi-powered microphone is covered by RØDE Microphones' industry leading 10 year warranty.

Mr Graham Womack12th Oct 2022

Larger & heavier than I anticipated. Difficult to get the sound level right. If I set the input level on my recording kit to less than 8, it's barely audible. More thsn 9 and it distorts.

I've only used them for drum overhead recording so far but they sound good. Just slightly smoother top end than the AKG C1000s
