The M3 is more than just a condenser microphone; it's a versatile audio solution with a cardioid polar pattern.

The M3 also boasts category-leading low self-noise, ensuring your recordings are as clean and clear as possible. Its three-stage PAD (0, -10db, -20db) allows you to adjust the microphone's sensitivity, providing you with greater control over your audio output. Additionally, the microphone features a High Pass Filter to eliminate low-frequency noise and a battery status LED for easy monitoring of power levels.

In summary, the M3 Studio and Location Multi Powered Condenser Microphone is a versatile, reliable, and high-quality audio recording solution, designed to meet the demands of both studio and location recording.
