Review: Behringer ECM8000 Measurement Condenser Microphone - I feel compelled to leave this review here, after reading another one that I think missed the point. I've uploaded some images of this microphone and hope they resolve any confusion about what is included with this excellent microphone - and what isn't included. The ECM8000 is a phantom-powered condenser microphone that is intended for room correction applications, as well as recording acoustic instruments and vocals. It is suited to the Behringer DEQ2496 UltraCurve equaliser. It can also be used as a decent, low noise, general purpose recording microphone for instruments and voice in a studio environment. It comes without a lead, but uses a standard 3 pin XLR microphone cable. The ECM8000 is made from aluminium and feels heavy and robust in-hand, at 120g. It is the same width as an XLR plug at its widest point, then thins down from halfway along the length to the "business end", with slots around a small hole that protects the capsule. The ECM8000 comes in a cardboard box, protecting a cardboard sleeve, over a thick, hinged, padded ABS case that contains the microphone. A mic-stand clip with adapter for the 2 main thread sizes and a foam pop-shield are also included. It needs external power, from 15v (as provided by the DEQ2496) up to the 48v standard for phantom-powered condenser mics. It is suitable for use with most audio interfaces available today that provide phantom power to the microphone. The ECM8000 microphone works superbly in its intended use for room equalisation with the DEQ2496, but it can also compete in recording instruments with other condenser mics costing many times more than this cheap gem. The ECM8000 has a ruler-flat response from 15Hz to 20KHz, impedance of 600 Ohms and sensitivity of -60db. It is omnidirectional, so it picks up room ambience with its decent high frequency response. The sound is clear, bright and detailed. I have found myself using it in preference to some of my other condensers and can't quite believe how they can manufacture something like this for the price. Thoroughly recommended! Review: Great mic at a good price - Real pleased with this mic ,
