The black AKG LC81 MD Lightweight Cardioid Lav Mic Blackis one of the smallest cardioid lavaliers available. With a diameter of less than two tenths of an inch and a length of less than four tenths of an inch, it weighs in at 0.07 ounces so your talent will hardly know it is there. Its cardioid polar pattern picks up a wide range of frequencies-from bass to soprano-and provides flexibility in getting the best sound from the source. Placed close to the performer, it accurately picks up low-end frequencies; place it farther away for performances in a higher range.

Q: 1. Is the quality of this mic good enough for singing?

A: The Rode HS2 is made primarily for speech applications but you can use it to sing.

Q: 2. This model is listed as "Small", are there head-size dimensions for this this size?

A: According to the dimensions in the specs tab this is based mostly on the length of the boom arm for the microphone and the width is a little bit wider. Small is H: 2 x W: 4.3 x L: 7.7" . Large is H: 2 x W: 4.9 x L: 8.1". This is not based on any particular head-size.

Q: 3. Would the M3 MacBook Pro accept this as a microphone, or do I need to use an interface with it?

A: The RODE HS2 Lightweight Headset Microphone is wired with a TRS locking 1/8" (3.5mm) connector, primarily for use with a compatible wireless transmitter. In order to connect the mic to the MacBook Pro, you would need to use the RODE VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # ROVXLRP) and connect the mic to an XLR input on a USB audio interface that can supply phantom power. The adapter will convert the phantom power to the proper amount of voltage to power the mic. If you want to use a microphone that can connect directly to the MacBook Pro without the need for any other hardware, I would recommend the RODE SmartLav+ Lavalier Condenser Microphone for Smartphones with TRRS Connections (B&H # ROSMARTLAVP) together with a headset mount such as the RODE LAVHS-MED Headset Mount for Lavalier Microphones - Medium (B&H # ROLAVHSMED).

Q: 6. Is the base made out of steel?

A: The legs are not made of steel. The entire stand is comprised of aluminum with steel bolts and nuts except for the top riser and one part of the leveling leg which are steel. It's a good stand and will hold every bit of the weight it is rated for. Folded up, It is taller than I expected which was not a plus for me but I removed the inner shock absorbing springs which made it about 3 inches shorter. All in all, I'm happy with the stand. It's light weight which is why I bought it. Hope this helps.
