M3 TRI-ELEMENT OPERATING PROCEDURE

The M3 contains three independent microphones and audio channels for interfacing into the mixing 

device or audio console.  The Audix provided breakout cable       is designed to interface with a profes

-

sional DSP controller using terminal blocks. 

Audix has an optional breakout cable       that terminates with three XLR connectors.  
The M3 microphone requires phantom power voltage of 18-52 volts. 

BREAKOUT CABLE PIN CONFIGURATION (STANDARD T568B)

Microphone Placement

Although the M3 can be hung from a variety of heights, Audix recommends 8’ to 8 ½’ AFF (above 

finished  floor)  placement.    When  capturing  larger  zone  areas  such  as  open  seating  or  distance 

learning, the M3 has a coverage radius up to 10’.  Most conference table type coverage, however, 

will  typically  utilize  a  smaller  radius.    For  example:  for  a  10’  -  12’  conference  table  two  M3      

microphones  are  recommended  so  that  the  gain  can  be  lowered  and  extraneous  table  and  room 

noise minimized.

Note

: The M3 is provided with 4 feet of cable that can be adjusted to the desired height.  In 

cases 

where a longer cable is necessary, Audix is able to provide custom lengths.  Please call Audix or 

your local Audix Sales Representative for more details.

tances.  For installations where a different brand of CAT 7 cable is being used, please consult the 

wiring diagram below. Audix has designed a breakout cable that is available with terminal block 

connectors (supplied) or XLR connectors (optional).
