Description

Speaker calibration; room acoustic measurement; sound system setup; any of these scenarios and more can be undertaken with the help of the M23 omni measurement microphone from Earthworks. Crafted from durable materials, the mic offers low handling noise, is rated at 140dB SPL and can withstand harsh environmental settings. 

Use with Industry Software 

The M23 can be used in harmony with FFT-based real-time audio system measurement software (such as SMAART, REW, SIM, FuzzMeasure and Electroacoustics Toolbox etc). This is due to a linear phase response and super quick impulse response. It can even be used for loudspeaker design and the alignment of your PA system. 

Hand-tuned & Tested

Each mic is both hand tested and hand tuned. It comes with a printed frequency response chart too. 

Features 

  • Meets/exceeds ANSI Type 1 and IEC 61094 requirements. 
  • Fast impulse response. 
  • Superior polar characteristics. 
  • Flat frequency response.

Microphones

Microphones are essential tools for capturing sound in recording, broadcast, and live performance. Different microphone types are designed for different sources, environments, and uses, from studio vocals and instruments to live sound and field recording. Choosing the right microphone depends on factors such as sound source, room acoustics, sensitivity, and the character you want to capture.

Omnidirectional

Omnidirectional microphones capture sound equally from all directions, providing a natural and open recording that reflects the full acoustic environment. They are often used in studio, live and location settings where an accurate sense of space and room ambience is desired.

Because they do not favour a single direction, omnidirectional mics are less affected by proximity effect and handle movement around the microphone more smoothly. This makes them ideal for group vocals, round-table discussions, ambient recording and situations where consistent sound pickup is more important than isolating a single source.
