Earthworks M23

The M23 is the equivalent of what was once sold exclusively by Rational Acoustics as the “Smaart S30”. The M23 features a flat frequency response from 3 Hz to 23 kHz, and an exceptionally consistent omnidirectional polar response. It has a max 140 dB SPL rating, without distortion. The Earthworks M23 is a very solidly built microphone, resilient against most temperature and atmospheric fluctuations. The M23 delivers reliable results in any environment. 

Every M23 is delivered with its own printed frequency response chart. A detailed Electronic Calibration File (ECF) is generated for each microphone during final testing. Your microphones individual ECF can be downloaded from the Earthworks website after product registration.

Note: When measuring SPL at concert levels the relatively high sensitivity of Earthworks measurement microphones will overload most input devices (preamps) with the microphone outputting max or near maximum voltage. If SPL measurement is critical, we recommend that you confirm that your preamps max input level meets or exceeds +19 dBu so that you do not overload.
