Rode M-3 Condenser microphone

This is one of my best music purchase ever, I guess. I really love this product: I use it mostly for flute recordings and live performances, but for voice and acoustic guitar recordings too. I was searching for a good sound, expecially for "breath", "airy" and high-frequency sounds but with a low budget. And thats it: the M3 is the perfect choice. If you play acoustic instrument the mike is good both for live performances and for studio recordings (its main task). The flute sound its plenty of high clean tones and with a constant bass presence without annoying "howls" on bass frequencies. Even on practice room rough speaker I never suffered the typical mid-range surplus.
Manufacturing its very good: its a sturdy metal product, it seems to be made to face battles!
Of course its price relegates it to the semi-pro and beginner target, but - trust me - this product its really suitable for semi-pro and advanced projects and sounds like much more expensive product of other brands. Dont get sidetracked by the price: its a 150€ worthy product, in my opinion... but it costs 100... great!

We have started recording some clarinet through the mic going into a Focusrite Scarlett Solo and it sounds really good! The mic also seems to be very well built and sturdy.
