To get the best sound in any room, you must first understand the room's acoustics. The ECM8000 is a specialized condenser microphone designed for use with real-time analyzers, such as our ULTRACURVE DEQ2496, to provide an accurate acoustic picture of the room. You can then use your graphic EQ to fine-tune your system's performance to perfectly match the characteristics of any acoustic environment.
Great Sound From Every Angle
The ECM8000's ruler-flat frequency response from 15 Hz to 20 kHz and omnidirectional polar pattern give you a clear, accurate reading of any room's unique sound characteristics. Like standard condenser mics used for recording or performance, the ECM8000 is phantom powered, from +15 V to +48 V. We've even included a rugged carrying case, microphone clip and stand adapter to ensure smooth operation every time.
Prime Performance, Amazing Affordability
The ECM8000 just may become the most valuable tool in your bag of tricks, and it is ultra-affordable. Take the guesswork out of EQing, both at the gig and in the studio.

Nice and sturdy, works as expected, no unique calibration
By Brian Steele
I purchased this microphone for use with my laptop, TrueRTA software and the MXL USB MicMate for frequency response measurement. I am quite satisfied with the results. The microphone is not provided with a unique specific calibration curve however. Instead, a general calibration curve is provided on the box.At the moment Parts Express is offering what appears to be a calibrated version of this mic for a few extra $$, which may be a better value to the DIYer.

Noisy but functional
By A. Castillo
Good mic. Fairly accurate and flat frequency response, but it has a very high noise floor (I'm guessing since it's Behringer, it also doesn't meet IEC measurement standards). I use it with SMAART to align my monitors and tune rooms in my place. Not as accurate and well made as say, Earthworks mics, but if you need a measurement mic on a budget, for the price, it's worth it. Especially against a $700 aluminum body Earthworks Measurement mic that does the same thing (albeit, with more accuracy and less noise/distortion). A handy tool to have in your toolbox. It's a condenser so it requires phantom power.

Good quality for Behringer
By 12milluz
I bought two of these to use as measurement mics and also for a spaced pair of omnis for concert recording. They come in a nice hard case with a windscreen and a mic clip.I have owned Behringer products in the past and the quality control was bad. Both of the mics I own here are good. They have a pretty flat response and work well as inexpensive measurement mics. I used them to tune my home theatre system with a computer program.As for music recording, these mics sounded nice on piano and guitar. They are a little noisy, which is no surprise at this price-point, but as long as you have a nice level of sound coming into them, there should be no problem. The spaced omni stereo recording for a local music concert came out well, but nothing to write home about.If you have never tried an omni for music recording, take a shot with these. They're fun to experiment with and they're cheap enough not to regret.
