Behringer ECM8000 Ultra-Linear Measurement Condenser Microphone

Product Information

Up to 12kHz, the difference between the two microphones is less than 1dB when using the angle according to their equalization. And now we are with the actual question of this blog article: Conclusion: how cheap can a measurement microphone be? Select the Pink Random noise and select the Speaker Cal option. Leve the output set to the default of -12dBFS and press the play button.

access, then the terms "End User," "you," and "your" shall apply collectively to you as an individual and to the The calibration file for RS meter from ETF 5 looks different and has 6 columns. http://www.etfacoustic.com/Software/RSAnalogueSPL.zip Nevertheless, the size is important for a very practical reason: you may want to calibrate the measuring system to absolute dB SPL later. Be it because you are just curious how loud you generally listen to your music. Or how loud you mix your band. Or also because you (or your client) are legally obliged to keep a record of every event. Then at the latest you will think about buying a calibrator.

And I don't want to doubt the price or the quality that some well-known and established manufacturers deliver. Microphones from DPA and Earthworks, for example, offer unmatched quality in terms of measurement technology. Depending on the application, they are the best you can get today. And there are a number of areas where you need and should pay for exactly that. Incredibly versatile. This mic can help you calibrate your studio or mixing room's accuracy. But they can also serve as excellent general purpose live mics of choirs, orchestras, church concerts, school events, etc. I ask that honestly, since I have an ECM8000, and thought that by definition it should be flat (or reasonably so, say +/- 1dB from 20 to 20 kHz).

If you want to compare the maximum sound pressure values, you have to compare apples with apples. It only makes sense to compare the values with the same threshold. The DPA example shows that depending on the threshold (e.g. 1% or 10% distortion), very different values can come out. I then output 2 columns as a text file (65508 lines), first column being the frequency and the second column being the SPL delta from the 3rd worksheet.

Let's take the two extreme examples from the previous points: If we dive into the range of over 120dB in front of the trumpet or close to the PA, some microphone would generate voltages that could overdrive a microphone preamplifier. If we expect this sound pressure range, then we should choose a microphone in the lower range of sensitivity. I strongly recommend this is where you go to get the latest version, which at the time of writing is V5.20 RC12. out of course of dealing, course of performance, usage or trade practice. Without limitation to the foregoing,

First of all, we have to enjoy the manufacturer's information with caution. The more expensive the microphone, the more precise the information. In the lower price range, the information is often missing or is very vague. This can mean that the manufacturer himself does not know exactly how well his microphone is doing. It is more likely, however, that the manufacturer knows what the values of his microphone look like, but that the values are either comparatively poor or vary greatly from microphone to microphone. I have already examined the differences for my three microphones in another article, which has an angle change on the frequency response. In short: at high frequencies, the sensitivity decreases by a few dB when sound arrives from the side.I hope I was able to give you some insight into the decision-making criteria that I have used to buy my measurement microphones over the past few years, and still will. Whichever microphone you choose, I wish you a lot of fun and success with measuring and listening to music! However, I have discovered that many of the calibration files floating around out there are for the mic oriented vertical. or make available through this Software or the content that is made available to you by third parties.
