Earthworks M23 is an omnidirection reference microphone, for a huge range of ‘audio band’ measurements including SMAART software.

M23 offers exceptional reference audio results at an affordable cost. It has a flat frequency response that extends from 3Hz to 23kHz, a consistent omnidirectional polar response. 140dB SPL rating without distortion, with no handling noise. Immune to most temperature and atmospheric fluctuations, the M23 will deliver reliable and repeatable results in almost any environment. 

Extremely fast impulse response and linear phase response make the M23 ideal for use with 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.

Every M23 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.

M23 package includes:
MC1 (microphone clip)
ADP1 (1/2″ calibrator adapter)

M23 features:

  • 23kHz flat frequency response
