12 Month Warranty*Multi-Functional Supercardioid Condenser Shotgun Microphone Production class shotgun microphone M3 benefits indie filmmaking, commercial production, broadcast or any high quality record needs. While satisfying both indoors and location use, it brings out the best for travelling or run-and-gun applications. With M3, you win both quality and versatility.
Capture the Rich Sound
Featuring a clean audio capture by front capsule and professional based XLR, M3 stands for high quality recording, well maintaining the clarity and tonal qualities of your subject.
M3 takes in sounds on a super-cardioid directional pickup pattern, accurately capturing a far-away subject directly in front of the microphone head while eliminating as much ambient noise as possible.
Long Battery Life
Built-in battery allows M3 to work for surprising 220 hours after a full charge, no worry on it cutting off mid-taken during field recording. Type-c port embraces the mainstream charger.
Battery powered option offers the great convenience for run and gun mounting on a boom, a handheld pistol grip or anywhere you want for an effortless set up.
M3 shifts to be supplied by a phantom power when it detects input current, while turning to its own battery if without any. To adapt intelligently breaks the limit for M3 being used in any cases.
Digital Switching
A full feature set to help you get what you need best. And it is smart enough to remember your setting after being turned off and on next time for a consistent recording.
High Frequency Boost to restore some of the high frequency energy that is lost when a blimp or furry windshield is placed over microphone.
High-pass Filter to reduce low- end rumbles from air conditioning or traffic for less noise.
-10 dB Attenuation Pad to cut back the amount of amplitude of the sound by 10dB for better recording loud source.
