M3 MicTrak Shotgun Microphone and Recorder
The M3 MicTrak from Zoom is a lightweight 4-channel shotgun microphone and recorder designed for journalism, audio for video, and documentary applications. With two internal shotgun mics that can switch between hyper-focused supercardioid (90°) or wider bidirectional (180°) modes, the M3 captures quality audio in 48 kHz / 32-bit floating point for crisp sound without clipping.
Featuring dual AD converter circuits inherited from Zoom’s pro F-Series recorders, the M3 eliminates the need for manual gain adjustment and provides a high max SPL of 132 dB for further protection against clipping in loud environments. With 12 hours of battery life and multiple powering options including AA batteries, USB-C bus power, or an optional Zoom AD-17 AC adapter (sold separately), the M3 offers improved operating time and flexibility in various shooting scenarios.
