Question about ECM8000

[DJL]

Well, Marik said he'd help walk you through the process of repairing the mic... you might want to give him a chance to help you. Good luck.

Hi thanks DJL... apparently, that is not the problem... I used it today and there was none of that rumbling, so it may be more of an intermitent thing, I gotta test it a few days more...

As you can still return it, do so and get another one. This one is defective, and it may not act up again until you can no longer return it.

 

[DJL]

Yeah... if you can return it for a good one, do it.

I don't know... I'm using a pop filter about 4 inches away from the mic, and I'm singing about 2 inches away from the pop filter, so I don't know how moisture could have gotten there... I'll see what happens today if I get some of the same behavior... Thanks for replying...

You're SINGING into an ECM8000?

What a novel concept...I never really thought about using one of them for vocals....

That's gotta be unflattering as hell......

Well I bought this mic on a trial basis, I have to test it various ways and singing was one way.... All things considered, for a $50 mic, it sounded decent, lot of bass response, I really thought it was going to sound bad... I wouldn't use it as a vocal mic though... It also depends what preamp you're running it through...

How do you use this mic??

I use it as a reference source for my RTA.

Other than that, not much. I hear that a set makes a passable OH combo, but I've got 012's for that. I haven't really tried it for anything else...but I suppose I could try it on something...just for the fun of it.

I've used it for acoustic guitar, mono drum overhead, and as an ambient/room mic. For the extremely low price, I think it is a heck of a deal.
