The M3 Silicon Valve™ microphone is an all FET design with a transformer-coupled output. Designed with a warm, transparent sound similar to popular vintage mics of the early 60s. The M3 is beautifully crafted to capture a big vocal sound that enhances the most difficult of vocalists, or transparent enough to bring out the detail os the most complicated musical arrangements.
