30KHZ MEASUREMENT MICROPHONE
M30
Hyper accurate. Reliable results. Every single time.
The measurement mic if
you’re serious about sound.
Used on countless full-scale concert tours, as well as in scientific research laboratories, tropical rainforests, and rocket testing facilities, the M30 has proven to be a lab-grade audio instrument that can handle any environment.





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.
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.
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.
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.

Precision With Your Favorite Measurement Software
The M30 works with any high-quality FFT-based real-time audio system measurement software, like SMAART™, SIM™, REW™, Electroacoustics Toolbox™, FuzzMeasure™ and others, as well as for use in PA system alignment and loudspeaker design.
Electronic Calibration File
Every M30 is individually hand-tuned and tested and is delivered with its own printed frequency response chart. An Electronic Calibration File (ECF) is generated for each microphone during final testing, and can be downloaded free of charge after product registration.
Professional products
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
