You would want to point it at the speaker and calibrate the mic for on-axis measurements if that is what you are measuring. The vertical orientation is more used for a random incidence type measurement that you might use to measure reverberation in a room, etc. I don't want to bore you with a theoretical treatise on the advantages and disadvantages of the membrane diameter. Of course, it is advantageous to use a membrane that is as small as possible, because the omni-directional characteristic then theoretically remains even at high frequencies and the drop in height at lateral angles is not too great. And of course it is advantageous to use the largest possible membrane, because then the signal-to-noise ratio is as high as possible. Even treated spaces can have their quirks, so the ECM8000 is a great tool to better understand how your room “sounds.” Some frequencies might resonate and appear louder, while others cancel out and appear quieter. Knowing your room takes all of the guesswork out of mixing, and can ultimately improve the quality of your work.

However, I have discovered that many of the calibration files floating around out there are for the mic oriented vertical. Up to 2 kHz there are no noteworthy deviations between the three microphones. The curves diverge slightly above this. The scale in the frequency response is chosen extremely so that you can see the differences well. At 2kHz, the Behringer ECM8000 (red) is about 2dB above the iSEMcon and the Beyerdynamic MM1 (blue) in between. The difference grows to around 3dB at 16kHz. By the way, the smoothing in Smaart is set to 1/12 octave. The Behringer ECM8000 Measurement Microphone provides an instantaneous acoustic image of your performance environment. Hear how your room and speakers really sound thanks to a linear frequency response and omnidirectional polar pattern. read and that you understand this Agreement; (D) represent that you are of sound mind and of legal ageThe reason for the roughness of the curves is that the microphones are spaced a bit apart (4 cm as I recall it). This combined with that I used a tweeter in an ordinary box lead to slightly different responses at the two positions. I would have liked to have the tweeter mounted on a big surface so that there was no edge reflections from the box, and also, I would have liked to measure one microphone at a time (reference/ECM8000) instead of having the interfering reflections from the neighbouring microphone. 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.

La respuesta de frecuencia lineal del micrófono de condensador Behringer ECM8000 y el diagrama polar omnidireccional le permite realizar las tareas de medición y alineación con el mínimo problema y la máxima precisión, convirtiéndolo en el complemento perfecto para nuestro ULTRA-CURVE PRO DSP8024 o cualquier otro analizador en tiempo real. Su resistente construccion le garantiza años de uso sin problemas.

Exactly this question I will answer today based on measurements from practice. First, let's take a look at the differences that we will encounter at all. The question of the extent to which this difference is relevant for us must also be clarified.

The ECM8000 comes with a gold plated 3 p in XLR connector and it will work with phantom power as long as the voltage is +15 to +48 volts. The response with the ECM8000 is very flat, it is actually more flat than some 200 dollar similar condensers that I have used and heard over the years.
