Earthworks M30 G2

While the M30 G2 is engineered as a measurement microphone for acoustic analysis, its exceptionally flat frequency response and transparent capture make it a secret weapon for recording sources like acoustic guitars, drum overheads, or choirs where you want an uncolored, realistic sound.

The M30 G2 connects via standard XLR and requires +48V phantom power. Because the G2 model features reduced power consumption, it is highly compatible with a wide range of professional audio interfaces and portable field recorders.

The omnidirectional pattern captures sound equally from all directions, which is essential for accurate room analysis. It ensures that the microphone is not biased toward a specific angle, allowing you to get a true representation of the acoustic environment and speaker response.

Yes, the stainless steel construction is quite durable, and the included OMW2 windscreen helps mitigate wind noise during outdoor measurements. Its high 140dB SPL handling also ensures it can withstand loud environments without distorting.

This extended range captures frequencies well beyond the human hearing spectrum, which is critical for precision measurement. By capturing the very low sub-bass and the ultra-high transients, the microphone provides a complete, accurate data set for calibrating complex sound systems.
