Audix M3GHM Tri-Element Hanging Ceiling Microphone

Tri Element Hanging Ceiling Microphone for Drywall Installations

The Audix M3GHM Tri-Element Hanging Ceiling Microphone with hard mount is engineered for permanent ceiling installations where drop tiles are not available. Designed specifically for drywall and solid ceiling environments, this gray hanging microphone integrates cleanly with a standard 4 x 4 inch electrical box and includes a 4 x 4 inch lid that houses the circuitry and RJ45 output. It provides professional-grade voice capture for video conferencing, distance learning, courtrooms, medical facilities, and ambient room miking applications.

Designed for Clean Hard Ceiling Mounting

Unlike traditional suspended ceiling microphones, this hard-mount configuration is optimized for installations without grid ceilings. The included 4 x 4 inch lid requires a minimum ceiling depth of 1.5 inches and integrates directly with a compatible electrical box, keeping all connections organized and secure above the ceiling surface. The result is a streamlined appearance that blends into modern conference rooms, classrooms, and government facilities while maintaining professional audio performance.

Three Hypercardioid Capsules for Focused Voice Pickup

At the core of the M3GHM are three phase-coherent hypercardioid condenser capsules designed to maximize speech intelligibility. This tri-element array delivers evenly distributed coverage while maintaining strong off-axis rejection. The frequency response and polar pattern are carefully tuned for voice clarity, helping reduce background distractions such as HVAC noise, paper movement, and room reflections. The gold diaphragm capsules provide studio-quality sound with high output and very low self-noise.

RF Shielding and Long Cable Performance

The microphone system features comprehensive RF shielding to protect against interference from wireless devices, lighting systems, and other electronic equipment commonly found in installed AV environments. Its low-impedance design supports extended cable runs without signal degradation, cross talk, or added noise. A shielded silicone-jacketed cable maintains balanced audio transmission while preserving a clean, professional appearance that matches visible components.

Optimized for Conferencing and Installed Sound Systems

This hanging ceiling microphone is ideal for Dante-enabled systems, DSP-based conference setups, and integrated audio networks using RJ45 connectivity. Its plenum-rated construction meets installation requirements for above-ceiling spaces, and the consistent gray finish ensures a discreet presence. Whether deployed for boardrooms, teleconferencing, hybrid classrooms, or surveillance audio capture, the M3GHM delivers reliable, intelligible speech reproduction.

Professional Build for Long-Term Reliability

Built for permanent installation, the M3GHM offers TAA compliance and durable construction suited for government, education, and corporate AV projects. Its high output level ensures strong signal delivery to mixers and DSP processors, while installation remains straightforward for AV integrators and contractors.
