IN THE PACKAGE
The M3 contains three independent microphones and audio channels for interfacing into the mixing
device or audio console. The Audix provided breakout cable
4
is designed to interface with a professional
DSP controller using terminal blocks. Audix has an optional breakout cable
7
that terminates with three
XLR connectors. The M3 microphone requires phantom power voltage of 18-52 volts.
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.
Wiring Tips
: Audix CAT 7 cable is recommended to insure high quality, interference free audio over
long distances. 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).
