M3 : The Rode M3 is incredibly Versatile! Allowing to bring your sound to a next Level. I highly recommend! Great quality at a lower

The M3 feels robust, and the supplied stand adaptor looks unbreakable. I ran the mic on phantom, from an installed battery, and with phantom when the battery was installed and it worked perfectly on each occasion.

A well-engineered microphone that is capable of handling just about anything, any instrument with a remarkable degree of competence for the price. Smooth-sounding, with good extension at both ends of the spectrum, and the ability to cope with high SPLs, this is a very flexible mic, aided further by its ability to run on an internal 9V battery or phantom power.

Pros:

Extended frequency response with smooth extremes.

Battery and phantom powering.

Gentle presence peak for subtle air.

Switchable HPF and pads.

Cons:

No body-switch markings.
