So basically, unless you identify minimum phase conditions, limit your attempts to EQ to EQing PEAKS below 80 Hz! And EQ will not remediate modal nulls!ĮQ is but one small component tool in the process of addressing modal behavior - it is not a panacea as some erroneously imagine. And please note that in reference to your desire to 'EQ your room', that you CANNOT (well, more properly, MAY not) EQ non-minimum phase systems - which is precisely what most of he anomalies above ~80 Hz are that result from the superposition of specular signals manifest as comb filtering.

But you order the calibrated version of the mics, be they Behringer or Dayton, directly from the party who performs the calibration. Is it pointless to eq a room with an un-calibrated mic?ĭayton is distributed. Should I just eq my room by ear? My budget for this would be 100 bucks for everything. I just want a very general room EQ nothing too crazy.
REW says it has a default input file for ECM8000, is it 'good enough'. Can I just use a non-calibrated one? I can't afford 110.00 mic, only a 55 dollar one:P I am a poor university student. I might suggest contacting Cross Spectrum regarding a comparison of the Behringer versus the Dayton quality control, or lack thereof. Also, you might want to read his review of the mics first - which at the moment I an having trouble locating. Also, calibration down to 5 Hz is available, but you have to specifically ask for it - no extra charge.

If you still have questions, and I expect you will as such sites as the REW support site is helpful but rather confusing with the diagrams and reference to pre-amps as 'sound cards'.if you need clarification feel free to PM me - and if you have either Yahoo Messenger or Skype we can quickly get you straightened out and clarify what should be a rather straightforward configuration process. You will also want to follow the proper calibration procedures for the setup for both frequency (done once) and also for hardware time latency (left in place) using a 'loopback' connection that connects the output of the 2nd channel with the input of that same second channel. And yes, you can use the Behringer mixer with its multitude of addition noise inducing gain stages and EQ, where even the manufacturer brags over it ability to impart coloration similar to the 1960's British units - which while that MAY (or may not) be advantageous for someone wishing to impose special FX on vocals, it is absolutely NOT desired for a measurement mic! As has been posted myriad times, the 'best' least expensive pre-amp (and NO, this does NOT mean that this is anywhere near the best preamp for measurement purposes!!!) if cost is the primary concern is the ART Dual USB pre amp available from BandHPhoto, normally $129, available delivered for about ~$69. The best source to obtain a reasonable cost calibrated unit is from Cross Spectrum.Īs far as the Behringer PS400, as has been noted, ALL that is is a phantom power unit - nothing more, as as such it is absolutely not sufficient.
The 2 cheapest (in so many ways) commonly available mics are the Behringer ECM8000 and the Superlux/Dayton EMM6 - of which the Dayton exhibits much less variability - which would suggest one stick with the Dayton. Regarding eh actual equipment and configuration, one will need a CALIBRATED omni mic. You use REW to detect the correct settings, feed.įirst, with all due respect and aimed at the community at large, I am continually amused at so many continuously trying to reinvent the wheel regarding this process rather than simply following more 'standard' tested configurations. The ECM 8000 is just a microphone, and you use it once to setup the system - e.g. It seems like an 'all in one package' without having to decide on which mic to use and obtaining the correct calibration file.
