The Sonarworks SoundID measurement microphone is an omnidirectional condenser measurement microphone designed for precise room and speaker calibration. Each unit is individually measured by Sonarworks against an ANSI-certified reference microphone, and the corresponding calibration file compensates for any minor deviations to ensure your measurements are accurate across the entire audible range.

Included in the box

• SoundID measurement microphone with individual profile ID
• Microphone clip
• Calibration files available for download

Typical applications

• Calibrating studio monitors in control rooms or rehearsal spaces
• Room acoustics analysis before events
• PA system calibration in halls and event venues
• Checking frequency response and reverberation time
• Comparative measurements for speaker positioning

Technical highlights

• Individual calibration: Each microphone has its own unique profile ID and matching calibration file.
• Omnidirectional polar pattern: Captures sound evenly from all directions, which is essential for room measurements.
• Electret condenser capsule: Small diaphragm for a linear, transparent frequency response.
• Multiple measurement angles: Profiles for 0, 30, and 90 degrees, depending on your measurement method.
• Open file formats: Includes both the Sonarworks format and a file compatible with third-party software.

Connection

• XLR, requires 48V phantom power from an interface or mixer

Note: The SoundID Reference software is not included in the rental; Sonarworks provides a trial version. When you rent from Renty, the measurement microphone comes without a security deposit and includes full insurance.
