Earthworks M23 Omnidirectional High Definition Measurement Microphone, 3Hz-23kHz Frequency Response, 100 Ohms Output Impedance

If precision and high-fidelity audio capture are your priorities, the Earthworks M23 Omnidirectional High Definition Measurement Microphone stands as an exemplary choice for professionals seeking top-tier equipment. This meticulously designed microphone is a pre-polarized condenser model, seamlessly integrated with a wideband, low output impedance preamplifier, ensuring consistent performance and high-quality sound reproduction.

The M23 is engineered to require a standard 48V phantom power supply, making it compatible with a broad range of audio equipment and setups. It boasts an impressively linear free-field frequency response ranging from 3Hz to 23kHz, capturing the full spectrum of audible sound with unparalleled clarity and definition. This expansive frequency response, paired with its very low handling noise, makes the M23 an ideal tool for capturing the subtle nuances of audio in any environment.

With its uniform omnidirectional polar pattern, the M23 excels in picking up sound from all directions, offering a 360-degree sound capture capability that is essential for comprehensive acoustical measurements and sound system setups. Its high SPL handling capabilities allow it to perform flawlessly even in the presence of loud sound sources, ensuring reliable and distortion-free recordings.

The innovative circuitry of the M23 sets it apart, as it excludes the trans-conductance of the input FET from the overall gain structure. This advanced feature guarantees that the microphone's sensitivity remains stable, even when faced with variations in ambient temperature, ensuring consistent performance in any recording scenario.

Meeting or exceeding ANSI Type 1 requirements, the M23 is a professional-grade tool that is perfectly suited for a variety of applications, including acoustical measurements, sound system setup and troubleshooting, and room acoustics analysis. Its ease of operation is another benefit; simply connect the microphone to a preamplifier supplying 48V phantom power using a standard XLR microphone cable, and it's ready to go. The microphone is designed to settle quickly, with no damage occurring from "hot" plugging, and for optimal results, it should be pointed directly at the sound source.

The M23 is built with durability in mind, featuring no removable parts that could be lost or damaged. Each microphone is factory calibrated at 1kHz, ensuring that it is ready for precise measurement tasks right out of the box, without the need for additional frequency weighting.

For audio professionals and enthusiasts who demand the highest standards in sound measurement and recording, the Earthworks M23 Omnidirectional High Definition Measurement Microphone offers an advanced, innovative solution that captures sound with accuracy and detail that is second to none.
