## Overview

The Rode M3 is a unidirectional condenser microphone featuring a heavy-duty metal body, internal capsule shock mount, and a switchable high-pass filter. With a 73 dB signal-to-noise ratio and low handling noise, it delivers studio-quality sound for recording, stage, and location use. Powered by either internal batteries or phantom power, the M3 offers versatile, professional-grade performance at an accessible price point, backed by a 10-year warranty.

## Description

Stylish and modern, the M3 represents RODE's outstanding microphone technology and their continuation of bang-for-the-buck thinking. Built for studio, stage, and location work, the M3 is made from only the finest components, and delivers the sonic results demanded by engineers and musicians alike - and at a price that makes the M3 attainable by anyone. A permanently polarized condenser microphone, the M3 can be powered via its internal battery or by external phantom power. Its low self-noise, high fidelity performance, and value pricing make the M3 hard to beat.

Review: Professional results for a budget price. - I replaced a small diaphragm MXL mic (everybody's first condenser mic) with the M5 and can't believe the difference in the quality of my recordings. Close micing an acoustic guitar it captures every subtle tone and accentuates the differences in the attack with a pick or fingerstyle. I usually hang a blanket over a couple chair backs, position this mic in front and play into it. It gives me results that are very warm and true to the sound of my guitar. I'm thinking about using this as an overhead drum mic for my band, too.
Review: Great mic. Bigger and heavier than I expected. - Using to mic a guitar for live performance and recording. I'm not an expert on mic specs but am very satisfied with the mic sensitivity and sound quality. I was surprised by the weight and size. I thought the M3 was more like the M5. Not at all dissatisfied tho.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this microphone suitable for piano recording?**
A: This is not suitable for instrument recording. You see that huge high pass rolloff below 100hz?  This is for vocals...

**Q: How close does this need to be to the source? I have to film 3 people at once and was told I could boom a condenser or cardioid mic. Can this plug**
A: It all depends on your application and the tone you want. I have used this to close mic acoustic guitars, as an overhead for drums, and as a room mic for live acoustic performances and electric guitar amps. It's a versatile mic that performs really well in a lot of situations.

**Q: can i connect this mic directly into my DSLR audio jack?**
A: Not sure, most mics connect using a 3-prong XLR Type connector, so I doubt it.

**Q: Can I record a saxophone with it?**
A: Yes, it's a great instrument mic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crisp, Clean Sound!
*by M***E on April 28, 2022*

I have had many mics in this price range. This clearly outperforms them all. The sound on my acoustic guitar is smooth, clear and even. Does a great job with vocals as well. Very solid constriction. Excellent studio tool.
