The M3 is the first in a new series of microphones designed to make high quality recording and performance accessible to a wider audience by offering the brand’s premium characteristics at an even more affordable price point. The M3 is yet another example of Røde’s continued commitment to engineering excellence, innovation and world class product design, and comes with a 10-warranty for total peace of mind.
Designed with versatility in mind, the M3 is a cardioid condenser design that can be powered either by standard 48V phantom power or by an internal 9V PP3 battery – making it suitable for an incredibly wide range of applications including live performance, studio recording, location work and field reporting. Flexibility is further enhanced by the inclusion of a switchable 80Hz low cut filter and a three-position pad switch providing 0dB, 10dB or 20dB of attenuation. Low self-noise, wide dynamic range and low handling noise make the M3 ideally suited to both vocal and instrument recording.
Røde durability comes as standard in the form of an internally shock-mounted ¾” capsule, rugged metal body construction and heat treated high-strength mesh head, and the M3 is supplied ready-to-go with a heavy-duty flight case, foam windshield and sturdy microphone clip.
