## Summary description

RØDE M3 is a wired stage/performance microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern designed for live vocals and amplified instruments. It features −40 dB sensitivity, 73 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 121 dB dynamic range. The mic uses a 3‑pin mini XLR interface and is powered by a 9 V battery with up to 200 hours operation, suitable for live sound and on-stage use.

## Long description

The RØDE M3 is a wired stage and performance end-address condenser microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern, intended for live vocals and amplified instruments. Constructed with a heavy-duty metal body and an internally shock-mounted 1/2" condenser capsule, the M3 accepts mini XLR (3‑pin) connectivity and can be powered either by 48V phantom power or an internal 9 V battery that provides up to 200 hours of operation. The microphone offers a sensitivity of −40 dB, a signal-to-noise ratio of 73 dB and a dynamic range of 121 dB, making it suitable for a wide range of live-sound and on-stage applications.
Advantages
The microphone’s cardioid polar pattern reduces off-axis noise and feedback in live environments, while the robust metal construction and internal shock mounting improve durability and reduce handling noise. Dual power options (phantom or internal 9 V battery) provide flexibility for stage and location work. Built-in selectable features—an 80 Hz high-pass filter and internal -10 dB / -20 dB pads—allow control over low-frequency rumble and attenuation for loud sound sources without needing external processors.
Suitable for
 Live vocals on stage and small venues
 Close miking of guitar amplifiers and electric instruments
 Microphone placement for snare drums and percussion
 Location recording and mobile setups where wired connectivity is preferred

How to use
Install a fresh 9 V battery or connect the microphone to a mixer or preamp providing 48 V phantom power via the mini XLR cable. For vocals and most instrument applications, position the end-address capsule 5–20 cm from the sound source, angled slightly toward the source. Engage the 80 Hz high-pass filter if low-frequency rumble or handling noise is present. Select the internal −10 dB or −20 dB pad when miking loud sources such as guitar cabinets or snare drums to prevent clipping at the preamp stage. Secure the mic in a stand or clip appropriate for stage use and route the mini XLR cable to the input device while avoiding tight cable bends.
Usage recommendations
For consistent live performance results, check battery status before each show or use phantom power when available. Use the cardioid pattern to minimise stage bleed and place the microphone slightly off-axis to the loudest stage monitors. When capturing loud transient sources, start with the −20 dB pad engaged and disable it if the signal level is too low. Store the microphone in a padded case to protect the capsule and internal shock mount during transport.
