Customer Reviews
 The Rode M3 condenser microphone  
by Steve B from Tulsa OK, September 01, 2008
Music Background:  Recording Hobbyist


“I bought one of these recently after wanting a good microphone for accoustic guitar project in my studio. The local guitar expert guys state this is the one to have. I purchased it and found out it was a excellent mic for guitar and vocals, but learned to put a preamp in front of it, and it went from excellent to WOW ( blown away)”
