## Long description

The RØDE M3 is a stage/performance microphone with a cardioid direction type designed to capture focused sound from a single source. It is a versatile end-address condenser microphone suitable for live performance, studio recording and location work. The microphone features a durable metal body, an internally shock-mounted 1/2" condenser capsule and wired connectivity via mini XLR (3-pin). It can be powered either by an internal 9V battery with up to 200 hours of life or by phantom power where available, offering flexible operation across different setups.
Advantages
The M3 offers a high dynamic range of 121 dB and a signal-to-noise ratio of 73 dB, supporting clear reproduction of both quiet and loud sources. Its sensitivity of -40 dB provides reliable pickup for vocals and instruments. A built-in high-pass filter and two selectable attenuation pads (-10 dB and -20 dB) allow handling of low-frequency noise and loud sound sources without distortion. The wired mini XLR (3-pin) interface and rugged black metal housing make the microphone suitable for regular stage use and transport.

How to use
Connect the RØDE M3 to your mixer, preamp or recording interface using a compatible mini XLR cable into the mini XLR (3-pin) input and an adapter or cable as required for your system. Choose between internal 9V battery power or external phantom power depending on your setup. Position the microphone with the end-address capsule pointing toward the sound source and maintain an appropriate distance to control proximity and tonal balance. Use the internal pads to reduce input level for loud sources and enable the high-pass filter on the power switch to reduce low-frequency rumble and handling noise.
Usage recommendations
For live stage use, secure the microphone in a sturdy stand or clip and verify cable connections before performance. For instrument miking, experiment with mic placement and pad settings for optimal clarity and to avoid clipping when recording loud amplifiers or drums. When using battery power, check battery status before extended sessions to ensure uninterrupted operation.
