DANTE | AES67
M3 Series
TRI-ELEMENT HANGING CEILING MICROPHONE
The M3 is an innovative, tri-element hanging 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 activities, and surgical procedures. It can also be used for ambient room miking and surveillance.
The M3 ceiling microphone incorporates three-phase coherent hypercardioid capsules with tailored frequency response optimized for speech intelligibility. This is accomplished by minimizing frequencies caused by noise, vibration, paper shuffling, keyboard strokes, fans, and heating /air conditioning. Low noise preamp circuitry is employed for the highest possible signal to noise and studio-quality sound. A high-quality silicone jacketed microphone cable ensures a balanced, shielded signal and a very clean look. Electronics above the ceiling are housed within a plenum-rated junction box and cable connections are made via an RJ45 connector embedded within a proprietary brass housing for an airtight seal.
FEATURES
- 100% RF shielding and immunity
- Gold diaphragm condenser capsules with studio-quality sound
- Low impedance design allows for extremely long cable runs (if required) without cross-talk or interference

- Plenum-rated junction box with RJ45 connector
- All visible components of the microphone and cable are the same color: charcoal or white
- TAA compliant
- Very high output, low self-noise
- Easy to install

Flush-Mount Ceiling Microphone for the Dante | AES67 Integrated Microphone System
Description
The M70WD is a steerable, flush-mount condenser microphone designed for distance miking in a variety of applications, including video conferencing, distance learning, hospital rooms, surveillance, and ambient room miking. The flush-mount configuration and a footprint of only three inches in diameter allow the M70WD to virtually disappear.
The M70WD capsule is housed within a patented cradle that allows the microphone to be aimed up to an angle of 45 degrees. Other features include a fully integrated preamp and an extremely high sensitivity rating of 38 millivolts. In addition, the M70WD has complete immunity from RF interference caused by cell phones and GSM devices. Installing the M70WD requires just one 2-inch hole in the ceiling, with no additional tools needed.
FEATURES
High output for distance miking
Aimable up to a 45-degree angle
Miniaturized integrated preamp circuitry
Immunity from RF interference
Two-color LED status indicator
RJ45 connectors for plug-and-play integration with the Audix Dante | AES67 Integrated Microphone System
No external power adaptor required
Designed, assembled, and tested by Audixin the USA
3-year warranty
DANTE MADE SIMPLE - BY AUDIX
The M70WD is designed exclusively for the Audix Dante | AES67 Integrated Microphone System , which delivers high-quality audio and all microphone functions - including on-off contact closure and LED status indicators - through a single CAT5 - CAT7 cable with RJ45 connections. This simple configuration eliminates wiring errors, accelerates installation, and reduces cost. And like all Audix microphones in the system, the gain structure is optimized for its intended use, providing quality audio at the DSP. The result is true plug-and-play installation.
Applications
Video teleconferencing
Distance learning
Surveillance
Hospital and medical procedures
Ambient room miking
