RODE M3 Studio/Live End-Address Condenser Studio Microphone

The RØDE M3 is one of the most versatile condenser microphones in its class. Featuring a rugged all-metal body, it’s equally at home in the studio, on stage, or in the field.
It houses a high-quality condenser capsule with a cardioid polar pattern for focused sound capture and excellent rejection of background noise. Power options include standard 48V phantom power or a convenient internal 9V battery, making it perfect for mobile and remote recording setups.
Additional features include a switchable high-pass filter to reduce low-end rumble and handling noise, plus a -10dB and -20dB pad for recording loud sound sources like drums or guitar amps. Whether you’re capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, or live performances, the M3 is a true all-rounder.
