M3 : Price for Quality is Exceptional

10 years ago

These mics are fantastic for the price. ?79 each for a small diameter capsule condenser mic is incredible. I've not been able to compare them to the AKG C1000 myself, but from other reviewers, they say the M3 has a better mid and low range, and the highs are not brash, like they supposedly are with the C1000.

I love the fact that a single 9v battery will provide phantom power for use in any situation. The mic clip seems indestructible and the zip pouch is perfect for storage. These will be great mics for stereo overheads, stereo guitar and horns. I'll be putting these in to heavy rotation!
