Product Highlights

The M3 highly versatile end-address condenser microphone is designed to excel in a wide variety of recording situations in the studio, on stage or on location. Featuring an internally shock-mounted 1/2-inch condenser capsule, the M3 can either be powered by P48 phantom power or an internal 9V battery. It offers the versatility of a selectable pad (-10dB, -20dB) and high-pass filter (80Hz), making it ideal for recording everything from electric guitar to vocals to drums.

Product Features

  • Dual-Power Architecture (Phantom or 9V Battery): Engineered for total field flexibility. The M3 runs seamlessly on 24V/48V phantom power or via a standard internal 9V battery, allowing you to record studio-grade condenser tracks onto portable field mixers, video cameras, or battery-powered PA systems.
  • Rugged Heavy-Duty All-Metal Chassis: Built to survive demanding field assignments and intense stage performance tours. The microphone is encased in an incredibly durable, ergonomically balanced zinc alloy body paired with a heat-treated, high-strength steel mesh grille.
  • Onboard High-Pass Filter and Pad Matrix: Features a multi-stage sliding hardware switch hidden within the battery compartment. This interface allows you to engage a -10 dB or -20 dB level attenuation pad to prevent capsule overloading from loud drums, as well as an 80 Hz high-pass filter to instantly eliminate air conditioning rumble or handling noise.
  • Tight Cardioid Polar Pattern Isolation: Utilizes a highly directional cardioid polar pattern focused directly in front of the capsule head. This tight pickup zone blocks out off-axis stage bleed, room reflections, and ambient environmental background noise to keep your target audio completely isolated.
  • Internal Shock-Mounted Condenser Capsule: The premium 1/2-inch permanently polarized transducer is fully suspended inside an internal rubber isolation mount. This structural barrier absorbs mechanical thuds, desk bumps, and stand resonance before they can color your recording.
