Description
The M3 is an innovative tri-element ceiling microphone designed for applications where aesthetics, sound quality, and ease of installation are critical.
The M3 is an ideal audio capture solution for video conferencing, distance learning, courtroom proceedings, and surgical operations. It can also be used for ambient room miking and surveillance.
The M3 ceiling microphone incorporates phase-coherent tri-element hypercardioid capsules with a tailored frequency response optimized for speech intelligibility. This is achieved by minimizing frequencies caused by noise, vibration, paper rustling, keyboard clicks, fans, and heating/air conditioning. A low-noise preamplifier circuit is used for the highest possible signal-to-noise ratio and studio quality. A high-quality silicone-jacketed microphone cable ensures a balanced, shielded signal and a very clean appearance. The above-ceiling electronics are housed in a plenum-rated junction box, and cable connections are made via an RJ45 connector integrated into a proprietary brass housing for an airtight seal. The installed M3 ceiling microphone connects to the input of a mixer or DSP console via a breakout cable (provided). The breakout cable consists of a female RJ45 connector terminating in either three terminal blocks or XLR connectors. A variety of optional shielded CAT7 cable lengths are available (from the plenum-rated junction box to the breakout cable).
Installation of the M3 requires drilling only one 5/8-inch hole in the ceiling, with no additional tools required. The M3 mounting hardware easily adjusts the cable suspension height up to four feet from the ceiling surface without removing ceiling tiles. A safety wire cable provides additional seismic restraint.
