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.
