DANTE® | AES67 INTEGRATED MICROPHONE SYSTEM
M3WDK
TRI-ELEMENT HANGING
CEILING MICROPHONE KIT
OVERVIEW
The M3DK is a convenient kit that pairs the Audix M3 hanging ceiling microphone with
the Audix DN43 Dante | AES67 microphone interface, providing a simple to install,
network-ready way to stream Audix audio performance through Ethernet networks.
The M3 is an innovative, tri-element hanging microphone designed for
applications where aesthetics, sound quality, and ease of installation are
critical. The frequency response and polar pattern of its three phase-coherent
hypercardioid capsules are tailored for voice clarity and rejection of extraneous
noise. Gold diaphragm condenser capsules deliver studio quality sound.
The Audix DN43 interface features one microphone port engineered exclusively
for the Audix M3 tri-element microphone and one port for Audix RJ45-equipped
single-element analog microphones. Each channel has selectable, independently
controlled pre-amp gain, as well as low- and high-pass filters. It features balanced
audio inputs with RFI filtering and delivers high-fidelity 24-bit, 48KHz audio
M3 FEATURES
• 100% RF shielding and immunity
• Very high output, low self-noise
• Frequency and pattern tailored for voice
clarity and rejection of extraneous noise
• Evenly dispersed sound with
undetectable phase
• High-quality silicone jacketed microphone
cable with adjustable length and position
• TAA compliant
• Easy to install
DANTE MADE SIMPLE – BY AUDIX
The M3DK is designed exclusively for the Audix Dante | AES67 Integrated
Microphone System, which delivers high-quality audio and all microphone
functions — including on-o contact closure and LED status indicators —
through a single CAT5 - CAT7 cable with RJ45 connections at both interface
and microphone. 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.
