Earthworks M23 G2 Measurement Mic

The M23 G2 is a measurement microphone, meaning it is designed for a perfectly flat frequency response rather than adding character or color to a sound. While a studio mic is meant to make things sound 'good,' this mic is meant to capture exactly what is happening in the room so you can make precise adjustments to your audio system.

Yes, it requires phantom power to operate. It is compatible with standard P48 or P12 phantom power, which is provided by almost all professional audio interfaces, mixers, and preamps.

While you technically can, it is not recommended. Because it has an omnidirectional polar pattern and a completely flat response, it will capture the entire room and lack the flattering warmth or presence that vocalists and musicians typically look for in a recording microphone.

The machined stainless steel body makes the microphone incredibly durable and resistant to the wear and tear of touring. More importantly, the material and design help the microphone remain stable and immune to temperature or atmospheric changes, ensuring your measurement data remains consistent throughout a long day of soundcheck and performance.

Yes, every M23 G2 includes a calibration chart. This allows you to import the specific data for your individual unit into your measurement software, ensuring the highest level of accuracy for your acoustic analysis.

Absolutely. It is rated for a maximum SPL of 140dB, which means it can handle extremely loud environments—like a concert PA system or a loud drum kit—without distorting the signal.
