Audix M3 Tri-Element Hanging Ceiling Microphone — Phase-Coherent Hypercardioid Array
M3 Overview
The Audix M3 is a hanging ceiling microphone built around three phase-coherent hypercardioid capsules with a tailored frequency response optimized for speech intelligibility, making it a purpose-built solution for environments where clarity and low-profile installation are non-negotiable. Its capsule array is specifically tuned to minimize interference from noise sources including HVAC systems, keyboard strokes, paper shuffling, and vibration, ensuring clean capture in acoustically challenging spaces. Low-noise preamp circuitry delivers the highest possible signal-to-noise ratio for studio-quality audio in installed applications. The M3 is well suited for AV integrators and system designers serving video conferencing facilities, courtrooms, distance learning classrooms, surgical suites, and ambient room miking installations.
Above-ceiling electronics are housed in a plenum-rated junction box, with cable terminations made via an RJ45 connector embedded in a proprietary brass housing for an airtight seal, simplifying installation and ensuring code compliance in plenum air spaces.
