Earthworks M23 MP

The M30 matched pairs come in beautiful cherry wood box.

Earthworks has become the accepted standard for affordable, reliable reference and measurement microphones. These microphones are accurate in the time domain and frequency response. Earthworks measurement microphones are optimized for clean, very fast impulse performance to provide accurate wideband response. They have virtually no handling noise and are remarkably stable with respect to temperature and atmospheric conditions. Our M Series measurement microphones are used by SMAART™, MLSSA™, Spectrafoo™, TEF™ and RTA in addition to acoustic measurement systems manufactured by dbx, DEQX and others. The M series meet or exceed ANSI Type 1 and applicable IEC 61094 requirements. 

The M23 is a cost effective reference microphone for SMAART™, MLSSA™, Spectrafoo™, TEF™ & RTA and all “audio band” measurements. It has a flat frequency response, fast impulse response and exceptional polar characteristics. The M23 is an improved version of the SMAARTMIC™ previously offered by EAW. The M23 meets or exceeds ANSI Type 1 and applicable IEC 61094 requirements. Requires 48V Phantom Power
