Audix M3G Tri-Element Hanging Ceiling Microphone (Gray)

Tri-Element Hanging Ceiling Microphone for Clear Speech Capture

The Audix M3G is a tri-element hanging ceiling microphone designed to provide focused, intelligible voice capture in conference rooms, courtrooms, classrooms, surgical suites, and distance learning environments. Featuring three phase-coherent hypercardioid condenser capsules, this ceiling microphone delivers balanced coverage while minimizing background noise. Its discreet gray finish and adjustable 4-foot cable allow it to blend into modern commercial spaces while maintaining professional audio performance.

Three Hypercardioid Capsules for Focused Voice Intelligibility

At the core of the M3G are three gold-diaphragm condenser capsules arranged for even sound dispersion and accurate phase response. The hypercardioid pattern helps concentrate on speech while rejecting unwanted ambient noise such as HVAC systems, paper movement, and room chatter. This targeted pickup pattern improves clarity in voice reinforcement and conferencing applications where speech intelligibility is critical.

Optimized Frequency Response for Conferencing and Installed Sound

The frequency response and polar characteristics are tailored specifically for spoken word. By reducing low-frequency rumble and limiting extraneous noise pickup, the M3G helps produce consistent, natural speech reproduction. Its high output and low self-noise performance make it suitable for professional installed AV systems and DSP-based conferencing setups.

Low-Impedance Design with Shielded Cable for Clean Signal Transmission

The M3G features a low-impedance design that supports long cable runs without introducing crosstalk or interference. A high-quality silicone-jacketed, fully shielded cable maintains signal integrity while providing a clean visual presentation. All visible components are color-matched for a cohesive installation appearance.

Plenum Rated Junction Box with RJ45 Connectivity

Above the ceiling, the electronics are housed in a plenum-rated junction box that meets commercial building code requirements. Connections are made using an RJ45 breakout cable to terminal blocks, simplifying wiring and system integration. The included seismic and fire strain relief enhances installation safety in regulated environments.

Adjustable Hanging Height and Simple Installation Process

Installation requires drilling a single 5/8-inch hole in the ceiling, allowing for minimal disruption during deployment. The adjustable mounting hardware enables the microphone to hang up to four feet below the ceiling surface without removing ceiling tiles. This design allows integrators to fine-tune placement for optimal coverage and consistent performance.
