The M3 is an innovative, tri-element hanging microphone system designed for applications where aesthetics, sound quality, and ease of installation are critical. The M3 is an ideal audio capture solution for video conferencing, distance learning, courtroom activities, and surgical procedures. It can also be used for ambient room miking and surveillance.

The M3 incorporates three phase coherent hypercardioid capsules with tailored frequency response optimized for speech intelligibility. This is accomplished by minimizing frequencies caused by noise, vibration, paper shuffling, keyboard strokes, fans, and heating /air conditioning. Low noise preamp circuitry is employed for highest possible signal to noise and studio quality sound. A high-quality silicone jacketed microphone cable ensures a balanced, shielded signal and a very clean look. Electronics above the ceiling are housed within a plenum rated junction box and cable connections are made via an RJ45 connector embedded within a proprietary brass housing for an airtight seal.
Installing the M3 requires drilling just one 5/8-inch hole in the ceiling, with no additional tools needed. The M3 mounting hardware easily adjusts the cable hanging height up to four feet from the ceiling surface without removing ceiling tiles. A wire safety cable provides additional seismic restraint.
The M3 connects to the input of a mixer or DSP console via a breakout cable (provided). The cable consists of a female RJ45 connector that terminates in either 3-terminal block or XLR. A variety of optional shielded CAT7 cable lengths are available.
For drywall ceilings without drop tiles, Audix also offer the M3 HM (or hard mount) variant. This enables users to install the M3 via a 10 x 10mm plate fixture integrating with a standard 10x10cm electrical box at only 4cm depth.
