What could be causing the crackling noise in this audio sample? Could the microphone be defective or is it more likely to be something else such as a bad mic cable or bad phantom power from my Behringer mixer? I just received this microphone in the mail (a Behringer ECM8000) and this is what I...

Thank you both very much for the links. Great info. I found out about Jecklin Disks while trying to figure out whether flat omni mics could be used as stereo pairs. I'd like to use such a setup to record myself playing violin. I currently have a single MXL 990 but am not quite satisfied with it...

I wish I had a dB meter. While testing the microphone I was playing just a little louder than I would normally play. I guess I shouldn't be too concerned about the 50dB gain, but I am concerned about the recording levels as the distance increases.

If you check out the 2fiddles.com page on microphone examples you'll notice one of the samples was recorded with a stereo pair of MXL 603s mics. According to the author, "Sample 2 (95k) is a string trio (two violins and a cello), using the Marshal MXL 603s, as a stereo pair, angled out from each...

I've recently purchased an MXL 990 condenser microphone along with a Behringer UB1002 mixer so I can record my violin playing onto my computer. When I received the package from Musician's Friend I noticed the shipping box had been exposed to water (it was wet and had developed a tear along the...
