Earthworks M50 Measurement Microphone (Matched Pair)

Earthworks M50 Measurement Microphone (Matched Pair)

SKU: EARTH-M50MP

Earthworks' M Series has become the accepted standard for affordable, reliable reference and measurement microphones. They are optimized to have a neutral, uncolored response, capturing fast transients and accurate wide-band frequency response with virtually no handling noise. Stable with respect to temperature and atmospheric conditions, the M Series creates transparent recordings both indoors and outdoors. It's an exceptionally accurate microphone for critical recording and room calibration.

The M50 is Earthworks' flagship precision microphone, boasting a remarkably linear frequency response all the way up 50 kHz. Because this small diaphragm condenser microphone is so neutral and has a fast transient response, it provides outstanding clarity for recording applications where the goal is to capture the natural sound of an instrument, with minimal coloration from the microphone. Try a spaced pair of M50 microphones on acoustic guitar to capture the performance with stunning realism.
