Gold Standard in Consistent Measurement

When it comes to the M23R measurement microphone, Earthworks' logic as about as sound as it gets: if you pick up a ruler anywhere, an inch will always be an inch, so why not demand the same from your reference mic. Speaking of rulers, the M23R is ruler-flat from 3Hz to 23kHz, and all with a ±0.5dB tolerance across the board. Sweetwater engineers are totally blown away by this technology, which doesn't just hold up between batches of mics, but over tine. That means you can buy a M23R from Sweetwater today and grab another five years from now, and they'll react just like a matched pair. So, if you need to outfit your whole production team, or have multi-mic measurements to take the affordable M23R is an ideal choice.

Earthworks M23R Reference-grade Measurement Mic Features:

  • Perfect reference mic for multi-mic measurements or entire production teams
  • Absolutely consistent across batches and over years of use
  • Flat frequency response within an extremely tight ±0.5dB tolerance from 3Hz to 23kHz
  • Fast impulse response and excellent polar characteristics
  • Meets or exceeds ANSI Type 1 and applicable IEC 61094 requirements
  • Includes mic calibration chart with measured open-circuit sensitivity and frequency response curve
  • Electronic Calibration File (ECF) available upon registration
