M60
OVERVIEW
The M60 is a miniaturized condenser microphone with fully integrated electronics
and immunity from RF interference typically caused by cell phones and GSM devices.
Primary applications for the M60 are: podium, corporate board rooms, meetings and
video conferencing where aesthetics and audio quality are of prime importance. The
microphone element is cardioid by design; however a “hemi-cardioid” polar pattern is
produced when coupled with a flat surface such as a table, floor, wall or podium.
The striking design of the M60 brass housing is achieved through an intricate process
utilizing a computer controlled machining center. The bottom of the housing is
treated with a shock absorbent material for dampening purposes and has two
threaded holes that allow the M60 to be bolted into a permanent position if desired.

FEATURES
· Optimized for voice
A high quality 12’ shielded mic cable is attached directly to the internal circuitry of the
M60 with the ability to exit the housing at either 180 or 90 degrees, depending on
whether the cable will be routed through a drilled surface. In addition, there are two
types of connectors offered: XLRm or terminal connectors.
MODEL VARIATIONS
Each microphone comes with a 12’ integrated cable terminating into a XLRm
(CONN170M or terminal connector (CONN170f)

ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER SPECIFICATIONS
The microphone shall be of the condenser type with modular capsule available
in hemi-cardioid polar pattern. The microphone shall be protected from RF
interference. The microphone shall have a fully integrated preamp circuitry
thereby eliminating the need for a remote phantom power module. The
microphone shall operate 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
68 mV / Pa at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a maximum SPL level of ≥130
dB with THD of 0.5%. The microphone shall be machined out of brass and
the dimensions shall be 63 mm in diameter by 12mm maximum height. The
microphone shall be the Audix M60
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The M60 is a low impedance microphone and should be plugged into a “mic
level” input on your console, mixer or recording device. The M60 requires
phantom power and will NOT operate without phantom power voltage (18-52
Volts) which is available on most professional mic preamps and mixing devices.
If phantom power is not available on your equipment, use an external phantom
power source such as the Audix APS2. Avoid plugging or unplugging the
microphone into or out of the audio system unless the channel is muted or the
volume of the system turned down. Failure to do so may result in a loud popping
noise which could seriously damage the speakers and the sound system.
