Behringer ECM8000

As a calibration microphone, it is an affordable microphone in terms of price performance. but don't expect a microphone-specific calibration file or a document. because these microphones are uniformly fabricated products. there are no special calibration files. Naturally, it does not come with a calibration file. For this reason, do not waste time searching for calibration files on the internet. Because these reports are specific to the microphone. When you add this file to the measurement program, the program analyzes the measurement made with your microphone according to this calibration file. If you have such a more detailed expectation, I would say take a look at the upper segment counterparts. This is the only difference from its more expensive competitors. If we collect it, it will work clearly. Someone who knows his job can do very good measurement and acoustic calibration.

The calibration file for this microphone is available on Behringer's own website to download for this very model.

This is useful for small/home studios on a budget that require some examination of room acoustics. I downloaded the trial version of Sonarworks and found this microphone did the job in terms of characterising my space. I could not find an official calibration curve readily available but did find one on a third party website that seemed believable. Perhaps that is a limitation to be expected on a budget (I believe some brands have a specific calibration included) but it seems more than adequate to discern any particular problem frequencies with a given room.

Although fitting several bass traps seemed to make little measurable difference in my room, this microphone was adequate for me to get to know the space for better or worse.
