## Description

Earthworks M23 23 kHz Omnidirectional Measurement Microphone The M Series has become the accepted standard for affordable, reliable reference and measurement microphones that are accurate in the time domain and frequency response. They are remarkably stable with respect to temperature and atmospheric conditions and are optimized for clean, very fast impulse performance providing accurate wideband response with virtually no handling noise. Cost effective measurement microphone Improved version of the SMAARTMIC previously offered by EAW Ideally suited for acoustical measurements sound system setup and troubleshooting, room acoustics, or any application where an accurate free-field measurement microphone is required Omnidirectional polar pattern Flat frequency response, fast impulse response and exceptional polar characteristics Used by SMAART, MLSSA, Spectrafoo, TEF and RTA in addition to acoustic measurement systems manufactured by dbx, DEQX and others Meets or exceeds ANSI Type 1 and applicable IEC 61094 requirements Requires 48V Phantom Power Each M Series microphone is delivered with its own calibration chart providing its individually measured open-circuit sensitivity and the frequency response curve Electronic calibration files can be used to import the M23′s amplitude frequency response directly into your measurement system. If you would like an impulse response chart with your microphone, you must make the request to your dealer at the time of purchase.

Review: As a user of Umiks for years and years, I finally realized their calibration file does not go down past 20hz. Finally picked up an m23 and holy crow, I had no idea how off my old measurements were. Plotted the three mics here and zero regrets. 100% confidence in the results coming in, and 0% hassle with calibration files. Notice the hand signed Earthworks test results run right before they shipped. That is a level of service I have not ever experienced. This is soundly better than Umik-1 or Umik-2.
Review: Great build quality. Flat frequency response- comes with calibration chart) and downloadable if registered with Earthworks. Meet specifications.
