Audix M3W Tri-Element Hanging Ceiling Microphone
The Audix M3W tri-element hanging ceiling microphone is a white condenser microphone designed for speech-focused audio capture in installed AV environments. It uses three phase-coherent hypercardioid capsules, low-noise preamp circuitry, and RF shielding to capture clear voice audio while reducing room noise.
This ceiling microphone is ideal for video conferencing, distance learning, courtrooms, hospitals, surveillance, and ambient room miking. Integrators can buy a white hanging ceiling microphone for discreet installs, add a tri-element conference microphone to AV systems, or improve speech intelligibility in professional meeting spaces.
The M3W uses a plenum-rated junction box and RJ45-based connection hardware for clean above-ceiling installation. Its low-impedance design supports long cable runs, while the tailored frequency response helps reject paper noise, keyboard strokes, vibration, HVAC rumble, and other common room distractions.
Key Features
- Tri-Element Capture: Three integrated condenser capsules deliver broad, phase-coherent room coverage for speech applications.
- Hypercardioid Pickup Pattern: Focuses voice pickup while rejecting unwanted sound from surrounding areas.
- Speech-Optimized Response: Tailored frequency and polar response improve clarity for conferencing and installed sound.
- RF Shielding: 100% RF shielding and immunity help prevent interference in professional AV environments.
- Low-Noise Circuitry: Integrated preamp design supports high output with low self-noise.
- Plenum-Rated Junction Box: Above-ceiling electronics are housed in a plenum-rated box with RJ45 connectivity.
- Adjustable Cable Position: High-quality silicone-jacketed cable allows clean hanging height and placement adjustment.
