Servoreeler Systems

with Audix M3 Tri-Element Hanging Microphone

OVERVIEW

Servoreelers were developed to enable motorized deployment, positioning and
retraction of a “live” suspended microphone. Their unique, patented designs deploy
and retract suspended microphones by remote or computer control without affecting
sound or signal quality. Servoreelers make the use of suspended microphones plausible
in environments where they may otherwise be unwelcome, providing out-of-sight
storage of hanging ceiling microphones when not in use, and silent deployment of
ceiling microphones to determined stop point placement for ideal coverage
when required.

Combined with the Audix M3 tri-element hanging microphone, users can achieve
clear and authentic audio quality for a range of applications, such as video and
teleconferencing, government and courtroom applications, lecture and distance
learning, choir and symphonic miking, among others.

Servoreeler model # SRL-4 is exclusively configured for the Audix M3 Microphone and
gives up to 4’ of deployment capacity. The SRL-4 is sold separately through Servoreeler.
The M3 microphone is sold directly through Audix. Contact Servoreeler for pricing

ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER SPECIFICATIONS

The microphone shall be of the condenser type with three elements having

a hypercardioid polar pattern. The microphone shall be protected from RF

interference. The microphone shall have a fully integrated preamp circuitry

housed within a plenum rated junction box. The microphone shall consist of

three individual circuits each operating on 18-52 Volts DC and the nominal

output impedance shall be equal to 150 Ohms at 1 kHz. The microphone shall

have a sensitivity of 34 mV / Pa at 1 kHz and a maximum SPL level of ≥ 128 dB

with THD of 0.5%. The microphone housing shall be machined out of brass

with a steel mesh protective grill. The outer dimensions shall be 50mm in

diameter by 30 mm in length. The microphone shall be the Audix M3.
