Bought this microphone for use in conjuction with video, after studying many microphone specifications and reviews. This is a "back-electret" mic of studio quality with male connector for XLR cables. It can use phantom power or its internal 9v battery (200hrs). Recorded sound quality is excellent with no discernible noise. I selected it mainly because of its unusually high sensitivity for a "stick" microphone (-40dB+/-3dB.) This is equivalent to 10mV/Pa@94dB SPL which is as high as the Canon externally mounted video shotgun mic that I use. I have recently made extensive use of it for a video presentation, fixed to a stand, where it was infinitely superior to the camcorder's internal mic.
It has an external bass roll-off switch and an internal attenuation switch selectable between 0, 10 & 20dB if the 10mV output is too high for your system. Comes in Rode's massive, indestructable carry case with room for your XLR cable (which you have to get separately).
I got it for video, but of course it's for performers as a vocal mic, for studio recording and for use "in the field" according to Rode. You could use it on a boom pole, but as it weighs in at 400g, it would make your audio man's arm ache!
I am impressed by Rode. You register with them for a 10-year warrenty. If you ask a question via their support line, you get a useful and appropriate email reply very promptly.
An impressive product and I can highly recommend it.

Over the years I have used (and owned) many, many microphones, some very expensive indeed, others more in the "value" bracket - but I have to say that while this is certainly one of the cheapest, it is also right up with those at many times its price in terms of quality and performance. The build quality is amazingly good. There is nothing about it that says "cheap". It is also made in Australia.... and has a 10 year warranty. While it runs from phantom power, it can also run from its internal 9v battery - useful in some situations, and particularly so if using portable flash recorders, many of which lack +48v. Visually, it looks a lot like the C1000s, but having used both, the M3 is a much nicer microphone. It sounds very natural, smooth, and has that certain "sheen" that you tend to only get from high grade mics. It is superb on acoustic guitar, mandolin, violin, etc. Run through a good preamp in the studio, it did not disgrace itself even up against a Neumann KM-184. In a live situation, it held its own against a Shure SM-94 and SM-81. All of these cost considerably more than the M3, yet the M3 put in a very creditable performance indeed. So much so, that I have ordered another one right away to use as a stereo pair. You just cannot go wrong at this price. Undoubtedly the best value in a microphone I have ever encountered. Whatever Rode did here, they did it right.

It may be cheap but it definitely competes with more expensive mic's. Very bright and it sounds amazing as drum overheads! Not so great for vocals in my opinion. But as drum overheads it's one of the best mic's out there, especially for the price!
