YOUR PURCHASE INCLUDES
Thank you for purchasing the
Earthworks M23 Measurement Microphone!
Before setting up the microphone, pull back all existing settings and EQ. By doing this, you will have a
baseline understanding of how our microphones sound, and will then be able to adjust accordingly.
Begin by removing all included components from the packaging. Make sure to mute any incoming
signal to speakers or headphones to avoid any loud “pops” when connecting.
Connect the microphone to an audio interface supplying 24-48V phantom power using a standard
XLR cable. Because of the microphone’s larger capsule size, please allow one minute for the
microphone to settle. (Plugging in the microphone while phantom power is turned on will not damage
the microphone, and will actually settle the microphone faster.)
To guarantee your microphone provides years of performance, follow these guidelines:
• Never attempt to disassemble the microphone - it cannot be opened.
• Avoid extreme heat and condensing humidity. Allow the microphone to warm up when bringing it
in from the cold.
• Rough handling may damage the microphone even if no markings are visible.
• When not in use, keep the microphone in its case.
GETTING STARTED
PROPER
MAINTENANCE
The small tip on many of our microphones allows them to capture the highest frequencies of
your sound. Please be gentle and considerate when handling the microphones with these tips.
(Microphones such as the SR314 and SR40V shield the tip within their capsule, and are thus
more durable.)
The M23 meets or exceeds ANSI Type 1 and applicable IEC 61094 requirements.
The microphone is calibrated at the factory at 1 kHz (independent of any frequency weighting).
Earthworks recommends re-calibration every ve (5) years.
