I recently had my Behringer ECM8000 microphone calibrated by Cross-Spectrum Labs with some interesting results (cost $50, http://www.cross-spectrum.com/measurement/mike_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. Curious if others have had their mics calibrated and if the results were as surprising. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: cal vs uncal.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3041| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- muski SB3->Bryston BP25DA->Bryston 4B-SST->Watt Puppy 7s Transporter->Headrom Max Balanced Amp->Balanced AKG701s ------------------------------------------------------------------------ muski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3670 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36716 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
