Audix M3W6 Tri-Element Hanging Ceiling Microphone (White)

Tri-Element Hanging Ceiling Microphone for Clear Speech Capture

The Audix M3W6 is a tri-element hanging ceiling microphone designed to deliver clear, consistent speech intelligibility in professional installed sound environments. Featuring a 6-foot cable and a discreet white finish, this microphone is built for spaces where audio quality, visual subtlety, and installation efficiency all matter. It is well suited for applications such as video conferencing, distance learning, courtrooms, healthcare facilities, lecture halls, and ambient room miking.

Three Hypercardioid Capsules for Focused Voice Pickup

At the core of the M3W6 are three phase-coherent hypercardioid condenser capsules that work together to provide even coverage directly beneath the microphone. This tri-element design focuses on spoken word while reducing pickup of unwanted sounds from HVAC systems, paper movement, fans, and room reflections. The frequency response and polar patterns are specifically tuned to support speech clarity, making voices sound natural and intelligible across a wide seating area.

Low Noise Performance with Complete RF Immunity

The M3W6 is engineered with full RF shielding to prevent interference from mobile phones, wireless networks, and other electronic devices commonly found in modern buildings. Its gold-diaphragm condenser capsules deliver very high output with low self-noise, ensuring clean audio even when speakers are positioned at a distance. This makes the microphone reliable in environments with dense wireless activity or long signal paths.

Low-Impedance Design for Flexible Installations

Thanks to its low-impedance architecture, the M3W6 supports long cable runs without signal loss, crosstalk, or added noise. This flexibility is ideal for large rooms or installations where equipment racks are located far from the microphone position. The shielded silicone-jacketed cable provides a balanced signal path while maintaining a clean, professional appearance below the ceiling.

Plenum-Rated Junction Box and Simplified Mounting

All electronics and cable connections are housed above the ceiling in a plenum-rated junction box, ensuring compliance with commercial building codes. The system uses an RJ45 connection that breaks out to three terminal blocks, streamlining wiring and reducing installation time. Installation requires drilling a single 5/8-inch hole, and the adjustable mounting hardware allows the microphone to hang up to four feet below the ceiling without removing ceiling tiles.

Built for Safety, Consistency, and Long-Term Use

The M3W6 includes seismic and fire strain relief hardware to meet safety requirements in permanent installations. All visible components, including the microphone body and cable, are color-matched for a uniform look. With its durable construction, stable performance, and TAA compliance, this microphone is designed for long-term reliability in demanding professional environments.
