One rugged condenser mic for guitar amps, drums, vocals and more. The RØDE M3 is an end-address condenser microphone for the studio, stage and location. It has an internally shock-mounted 1/2-inch capsule and can run on 48V or 24V phantom power or an internal 9V battery.
Why customers choose it
- Works almost anywhere: runs on a 9V battery when your mixer or recorder has no phantom power.
- Loud sources: the -10 / -20 dB pad and 142 dB SPL handling suit guitar cabinets and drums.
- Less rumble: the 80 Hz filter cuts stage and handling noise.
- Built tough: an all-metal body for gigs and rehearsals.
- Shock-mounted capsule: less noise from knocks on the stand.
