A Reference Tool for Studio Calibration
Designed to integrate naturally into the "SoundID Reference" ecosystem, this measurement microphone provides a reliable foundation for your acoustic correction profiles. Its pre-polarized electret condenser capsule and omnidirectional directivity make it a robust standard for establishing a consistent reference curve in varied environments.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Sound engineers, producers, home studio users, and audio integrators: this mic is aimed at those who want to objectify their mixing decisions. It is perfect for calibrating nearfield monitors, optimizing a project control room, or verifying acoustic treatments, with on-axis and off-axis measurements immediately usable.
Key Features for Reliable Daily Measurements
Neutrality and Consistency of Captures
The omnidirectional directivity ensures even capture across the entire spectrum, while the 14 mV/Pa sensitivity provides a good output level without requiring excessive gain on the preamp side.
Controlled Dynamic Range and Noise
With a self-noise of 24 dB, a 70 dB signal-to-noise ratio, and a dynamic range of 106 dB, measurement curves remain clear even at low levels and without saturation during more intense sweeps.
Optimized Workflow with SoundID Reference
The microphone comes with two complementary calibration files: an on-axis profile at 0 degrees in TXT format for broad compatibility, and an off-axis profile at 30 degrees in native Sonarworks format, ready to use in "SoundID Reference" to speed up your sessions.
Professional Connectivity and Standard Power Supply
The 3-pin XLR connector and 48V phantom power ensure immediate integration with the majority of studio audio interfaces and microphone preamps.

Questions frequently asked
Does this microphone work with a standard audio interface?
The 3-pin XLR connection and 48 V phantom power enable integration with most audio interfaces and studio microphone preamps.
What calibration files are provided with the microphone?
Two calibration files are included. An on-axis 0° profile is supplied in TXT format for broad compatibility. An off-axis 30° profile in native Sonarworks format is ready to be loaded into SoundID Reference.
What directionality is used to calibrate studio monitors?
Its pre-polarized electret capsule adopts an omnidirectional pattern, with a stated frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Does the Sonarworks SoundID Microphone require a lot of gain?
With a sensitivity of 14 mV/Pa, this model delivers an output level that avoids excessive gain on the preamp.
What is the maximum sound pressure level this measurement mic can handle?
The maximum acoustic pressure is 132 dB SPL, while the dynamic range reaches 106 dB.
