I recently had my Behringer ECM8000 microphone calibrated by Cross-Spectrum Labs with some interesting results (cost $50, http://www.cross-spectrum.com/measur...ike_meas.html). A very different calibration file was the result. See the attached graph -- green is the stock ecm8000.txt file that comes with DRC, red is the calibration file for my ECM8000 with a Tascam US-122L preamp/USB interface. The calibrator's experience with about a dozen ECM8000s is that though they show pretty good response (esp for the price), but they are all over the place.
Haven't done a ton of listening with this, but immediately had to switch from 'normal' to 'soft' -- it was just too bright and there was some occasional weird digital distortion (maybe it was clipping). Further experimentation with different target curves now required. [Edit: disregard -- I think I recorded the sweeps incorrectly on my first try...]
Curious if others have had their mics calibrated and if the results were as surprising.
[SOLD] Hey guys, I've had these two items sitting on a shelf for a while and have realized that I'll never use them. Looking to get for the pair (I.
