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.
  • Omnidirectional polar pattern.
  • Ideal for sound system setup, acoustic measurements, room acoustics etc. 
  • Cost effective.

Brand

Earthworks Audio

Earthworks Audio is represented in the current MicPro catalogue by M30 and M23 measurement microphones, SR314 vocal microphone and SV33 cardioid condenser. The listed range is relevant to measurement, vocal and detailed instrument capture. When comparing these products, check measurement versus performance use, pattern, calibration, sensitivity, phantom power, mounting and source placement. The range covers precise analysis as well as studio and live vocals, so the model’s intended role should guide the choice. This description is kept catalogue-led, so the individual model listing remains the source for exact specifications, compatibility and included accessories.

Microphones

Microphones convert acoustic sound into an electrical signal for recording, live sound, broadcast, streaming or measurement. This broad category includes dynamic, condenser, ribbon, USB, wireless, boundary, shotgun and instrument-focused designs, each balancing sensitivity, detail, rejection and handling. Compare the source, room, pickup pattern, maximum level, connector, phantom or battery requirements and mounting options before choosing. The most useful microphone is the one that fits the voice or instrument, working distance and signal chain; a prestigious brand or familiar category label cannot replace those practical checks.

Microphone

Microphone identifies a product whose primary role is acoustic capture. Compare capsule type, pickup pattern, output, power, mounting and the source or room it will serve.

Omnidirectional

Omnidirectional describes pickup from all directions, useful for some lavalier, measurement, room and boundary applications. Placement, nearby noise and reflections still shape the recording.
