Audix M40W6S Supercardioid Ceiling Microphone

Supercardioid Hanging Ceiling Microphone for Precise Speech Capture

The Audix M40W6S is a miniature high-output supercardioid condenser ceiling microphone designed to deliver focused, intelligible speech pickup in installed audio environments. Built for overhead placement, it helps capture voices clearly while minimizing ambient noise, making it ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, medical spaces, and presentation areas where clarity matters.

Focused Directionality for Controlled Audio Pickup

Equipped with a supercardioid polar pattern, the M40W6S provides narrow, forward-focused sound capture that reduces room reflections and unwanted background noise. This point-and-shoot directivity allows the microphone to isolate speech directly beneath it, improving intelligibility in acoustically challenging spaces.

Flexible Gooseneck for Accurate Positioning

A 6-inch integrated gooseneck allows precise microphone positioning without drawing visual attention. This flexible mounting design makes it easy to aim the microphone exactly where speech occurs, helping installers fine-tune coverage for podiums, seating areas, or workstations without invasive hardware.

High Output Performance with Low Noise Electronics

The M40W6S features a miniaturized integrated preamp and a 12mm gold vapor diaphragm that deliver high sensitivity and extremely low self-noise. This design supports distance miking while maintaining clean, natural voice reproduction, even when speakers are positioned several feet below the microphone.

Reliable Operation in Technology-Heavy Environments

Built-in RF shielding protects the microphone from interference caused by mobile phones, wireless devices, and networked electronics. The microphone operates on standard 18 to 52V phantom power, eliminating the need for external power supplies and simplifying system integration.

Installer-Friendly Wiring and Commercial Readiness

An integrated cable terminates to a Phoenix connector for secure, professional installation. Optional junction box compatibility supports clean cable management and compliance with commercial installation standards, making the M40W6S suitable for permanent installations in regulated environments.
