Accuracy

This measurement microphone is the best I've ever used. The accuracy is incredible
by Michael Cruz from New jersey on

Excellent mic!

I have a friend who introduced me to this mic and I couldn't believe how well it performed as a calibration mic while setting up my sound system. I decided to try one as and overheard to pick up all of my drums with the exception of the kick drum. I was totally blown away with how accurate the M30 picked up everything. I decided to buy a second one and use both of them to mic my drums. Simply amazing! Not only did they work for, but they freed up more channels I could use for other things. I recommend this mic with great confidence. If you can afford a couple of these, you won't be disappointed.

Great quality and very accurate!

This is a great quality build and had virtually no handling noise whatsoever. My other measurement mic seemed to pick up a lot of background noise but this M30 seems to know what is good noise and what is not figuratively speaking.

Perfect for my project

We purchased M30 mic for a very special project. We need to record very low frequencies and M30 works like a charm. Of course we had to pair the system with low Hz recorder and headphone as well and altogether the project become pretty pricey but at the end it was worth to hear the result. I recommend this product.

Killer microphones for recording!

I haven't purchased these myself but I used a pair of them on a solo celeste recording about a year ago and after finding the files again I can't not type this up.

Yes they're measurement mics, yes they're extremely flat and analytical but don't let that fool you. These are some outstanding sounding microphones. We ran them as a spaced AB pair through some Grace's in a beautiful sounding room and it sounded like you were sitting in the room with the mics. The only thing to note is yes the noise floor is pretty high as is standard with most EW mics, but given how ridiculously small the capsule is that's kind of a given so it's a compromise. It can be fixed with RX but it really doesn't need it, either way I can't recommend these enough and have been wanting to pick up a pair for a while now.
