Audix M70WD — Steerable Flush-Mount Ceiling Condenser Microphone for Dante/AES67
M70WD Overview
The Audix M70WD is a steerable flush-mount condenser microphone built for distance miking in professional installed-sound environments, including video conferencing, distance learning, hospital rooms, surveillance, and ambient room capture. Its capsule is housed within a patented steerable cradle that allows aiming up to 45 degrees off-axis, and its fully integrated preamp delivers a sensitivity rating of 38 millivolts for clean signal capture at the DSP. The M70WD is designed exclusively for use with the Audix Dante/AES67 Integrated Microphone System, requiring a DN4 or DN43 microphone interface (sold separately), making it well-suited for AV integrators and system designers working in corporate, healthcare, and educational facilities.
The three-inch diameter footprint and flush-mount profile allow the M70WD to integrate unobtrusively into virtually any ceiling surface, and installation requires only a single 2-inch hole with no additional tools, significantly reducing labor time on the job site.
Key Features
- Steerable Capsule Cradle — Patented mounting cradle allows the condenser capsule to be aimed up to 45 degrees, enabling precise coverage targeting without repositioning the fixture
- High Sensitivity — 38 mV sensitivity rating optimizes signal level for downstream DSP processing without requiring excessive gain
- Flush-Mount, Low-Profile Design — Three-inch diameter footprint and ceiling-flush installation allow the microphone to blend into the architecture with minimal visual impact
- Single-Cable Dante/AES67 Integration — All audio and microphone functions, including on/off contact closure and LED status indicators, are carried over a single CAT5–CAT7 cable with RJ45 connections, eliminating complex wiring runs
- Dual-Color LED Status Indicators — Configurable via plugin to display microphone status, supporting clear visual feedback for end users and operators
- RF Interference Immunity — Complete immunity from RF interference generated by cell phones and GSM devices, ensuring clean audio in high-traffic environments
- Tool-Free Installation — Requires only a single 2-inch ceiling cutout with no additional tools, accelerating deployment in multi-room installations
- Optimized Gain Structure — Gain is factory-optimized for the Audix Dante/AES67 system, delivering consistent, quality audio at the DSP in a true plug-and-play configuration
Connectivity & I/O
- Single CAT5–CAT7 cable connection via RJ45 to DN4 or DN43 microphone interface (sold separately)
- Carries audio, on/off contact closure, and LED status indicator functions over one cable
