SoundID Reference Measurement Microphone – precision condenser measurement microphone developed by Sonarworks for accurate acoustic calibration and studio monitoring setup. Each microphone is individually measured and certified against ANSI-standard reference units to ensure exceptional linearity and consistency across the audible frequency spectrum.
Equipped with a high-precision electret condenser capsule and an omnidirectional polar pattern, the SoundID Reference Microphone captures sound with maximum neutrality and minimal coloration. It is ideal for room calibration, speaker alignment, and use with Sonarworks’ SoundID Reference software. The included calibration files (0° on-axis and 30° off-axis) guarantee accurate correction for any setup, enabling precise room response measurement and correction.
The microphone connects via a standard 3-pin XLR connector and requires 48V phantom power. Each unit comes with a downloadable, microphone-specific calibration profile for 0°, 30°, and 90° off-axis positions, ensuring fully traceable accuracy. It is a must-have tool for engineers, producers, and studios aiming for true flat reference monitoring.
