FAQ
What type of audio output does the AXIS T8355 microphone provide?
The AXIS T8355 delivers stereo audio output, capturing separate left and right channel signals for a more immersive and spatially accurate sound representation compared to mono microphones. This makes it suitable for applications where audio directionality or ambient sound staging is important, such as in conference rooms, lecture halls, or environmental monitoring setups.
How is the microphone connected, and what cable length is included?
This microphone uses a wired connection with a fixed 16.4-foot (5-meter) cable terminated in a mini-phone connector. The wired design ensures stable, uninterrupted audio transmission without wireless interference or battery dependencies, while the generous cable length allows for flexible placement relative to audio input devices, supporting installations in ceilings, walls, or remote locations.
What is the polar pattern, and how does it affect sound capture?
The T8355 features a hemispherical polar pattern, which captures sound from a wide, dome-shaped area around the microphone. This pattern is effective for picking up audio from multiple directions within a room, reducing the need for precisely aimed microphone placement or multiple microphones in medium-sized spaces, ideal for general room audio or ambient sound monitoring.
What does the frequency response range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz mean for audio quality?
The 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response covers the full range of human hearing, from deep bass tones at 20 Hz to high-frequency details at 20 kHz. This ensures the microphone captures audio naturally and accurately, preserving low-end richness and high-end clarity for voice, music, or environmental sounds, supporting professional-grade recording and reinforcement applications.
What is the microphone sensitivity of -30 dB, and why is it important?
The -30 dB sensitivity indicates how effectively the microphone converts sound pressure into an electrical signal. A sensitivity of -30 dB provides a strong output level relative to input sound, ensuring clear audio transmission over the cable with minimal noise interference. This is particularly beneficial in environments with quieter sounds or longer cable runs where signal integrity is critical.
