Audix M3 Tri-Element Hanging Ceiling Microphone — Phase-Coherent Hypercardioid Ceiling Array
M3 Overview
The Audix M3 is a tri-element hanging ceiling microphone designed for installations where aesthetics, speech intelligibility, and ease of deployment are equally critical. It incorporates three phase-coherent hypercardioid capsules with a tailored frequency response that minimizes noise from vibration, paper shuffling, keyboard strokes, fans, and HVAC systems. Low-noise preamp circuitry delivers high signal-to-noise performance suited to demanding capture environments including video conferencing, distance learning, courtrooms, and surgical suites. System integrators and AV professionals will find the M3 well-suited for permanent installations requiring discreet, high-quality audio pickup.
A silicone-jacketed, balanced, shielded microphone cable provides a clean aesthetic drop from the ceiling, while above-ceiling electronics are housed in a plenum-rated junction box with an RJ45 connector embedded in a proprietary brass housing for an airtight, code-compliant seal.
