ML1-PDM6
Directional Parabolic Dish Microphone (6 Inch Diameter)
Description
ML1-PDM6 Six-Inch Directional Parabolic Dish Microphone
The ETS ML1-PDM6 is a compact 6-inch directional parabolic microphone designed for focused audio pickup in indoor and outdoor surveillance and security applications. Its highly directional pickup pattern can be pointed at audio sources up to 100 feet away or more to help isolate the intended audio source from surrounding background noise.
The ML1-PDM6 uses a weather-resistant ASA 3D-printed parabolic dish and features an articulating ball-and-swivel mount for precise aiming. The microphone’s focal point is positioned deep within the dish, helping protect the microphone element from rain and snow while reducing wind noise.
With a -40 dB microphone-level output, the ML1-PDM6 is designed for use with compatible ETS DVR and IP camera audio interfaces. For applications requiring a pre-amplified output with automatic level control or background-noise filtering.

Application
- Long-Range Perimeter Monitoring: Use the ML1-PDM6 to focus audio pickup toward distant areas along property lines, fences, gates, and other perimeter locations while helping reduce unwanted sounds coming from the sides.
- Remote Gate and Entrance Monitoring: Aim the ML1-PDM6 toward vehicle gates, secured entrances, or checkpoints where conversations and other sounds may originate at a significant distance from the monitoring location.
- Parking Lot and Parking Garage Surveillance: Integrate the ML1-PDM6 with compatible surveillance systems to provide directional audio coverage of specific parking areas, entrances, drive lanes, or other locations where conventional microphones may capture too much surrounding noise.
- Industrial Facility Monitoring: Position the ML1-PDM6 toward specific machinery, work areas, loading zones, or other distant points of interest to provide focused audio monitoring in large industrial environments.
- Warehouse and Distribution Center Monitoring: Use the ML1-PDM6 to monitor targeted areas across large warehouses, loading docks, shipping yards, or distribution facilities where the desired sound source may be far from the microphone.
- Correctional Facility and Secure Campus Monitoring: Deploy the ML1-PDM6 to provide directional audio coverage of designated outdoor yards, corridors, controlled access points, or other monitored areas within correctional and high-security facilities.
- Wildlife and Environmental Observation: Aim the ML1-PDM6 toward wildlife habitats, nesting areas, trails, or other distant natural sound sources where directional pickup can help isolate animal calls and environmental sounds from surrounding noise.
- Sports Field and Athletic Facility Monitoring: Position the ML1-PDM6 toward a specific portion of a field, court, track, or training area to capture distant activity without relying on a microphone positioned directly alongside the action.
- Large Property and Estate Security: Use the ML1-PDM6 as part of a surveillance system to focus audio monitoring on distant driveways, gates, outbuildings, pathways, or other specific areas across large properties.
- Remote Equipment and Infrastructure Monitoring: Direct the ML1-PDM6 toward pumps, generators, HVAC equipment, substations, or other remotely located equipment to help operators monitor audible activity or changes in equipment sound from a distance.
