Biamp CM1-6W
Miniature High-Output Cardioid Ceiling Microphone
The CM1-6W is a discreet, high-output ceiling microphone built for capturing speech at a distance. Its cardioid pickup pattern concentrates sensitivity toward talkers while helping reject sound arriving from the sides and rear, which improves intelligibility in rooms where participants are seated away from the microphone. A slim six-inch gooseneck lets the capsule drop cleanly below the ceiling plane for consistent voice capture.
Designed for easy installation, the microphone mounts through a single small ceiling hole and connects through a three-pin mini-XLR output, drawing standard phantom power from the connected mixer or processor. It suits video conferencing, distance learning, courtrooms, and other applications where an unobtrusive, always-ready microphone is preferred over tabletop or handheld units.
