23KHZ REFERENCE MEASUREMENT MICROPHONE

M23R

Infinitely matched.
Infinitely flexible.

The M23R is a precision engineered 23kHz omnidirectional measurement microphone ideally suited for acoustical measurements including loudspeaker design and quality control, sound system setup and troubleshooting, room acoustics, or any application where an accurate free-field measurement microphone is required.

Infinitely Matched

Every M23R has the same frequency response and sensitivity – matched to within +/- 0.5dB across the entire operating frequency range (3Hz to 23kHz).

designed with professionals in mind

In audio, our perception of what feels real and natural is incredibly sensitive to resolution in the time domain. In particular, the level of detail present in the initial transient is responsible for much of our sense of content, meaning, and frequency balance. This includes defining attributes like “timbre”, “texture”, and “air”. Earthworks’ blazingly fast technology ensures that every performance sounds like life

USER GUIDE
I take tuning as seriously as I do mixing. If there’s anything I own that I can honestly say makes it to every gig, its my Earthworks M30.
Chris Rabold, FOH ENGINEER
The Earthworks M30 measurement mic is the first piece of gear I grab for when I’m ready to tune my P.A. system, I know its frequency response is very accurate and will tell me exactly what’s happening in the room.
Rick Camp, FOH ENGINEER
Every show I’ve mixed for Umphrey’s McGee is available for download. That requires accurate tuning for my mix to translate to the recording. The M30 is the most accurate way I can measure that.
Chris Mitchell, FOH ENGINEER
The accuracy of the Earthworks M30 microphone is stunning. I know that when the system is tuned using this microphone the results will be pure audio bliss.
Brad Divens, FOH ENGINEER
