i'm using a radio shack meter for my mic with cal file and its been mentioned that these mics aren't very accurate especially at the higher freq. So I was looking at getting a Behringer Ecm and pre-amp to use. Would it be alright to go with a general cal file for the ecm mic or does it really need to be sent off and calibrated?
In regards to the sound, I guess I never really paid attention to it before and just became accustomed to it. But now thinking back on scenes I've watched and music I've listened to it does seem to be over the top. When listening at reference levels it actually kind of hurts as the sound is shrill so to speak. I guess that is why I have the bass as high as I have it so that it kind of matches.
The mains that I am using are Def Tech BP7001sc that are being driven by a Carver TFM55x with an HK AVR 325 as a prepro. I only have bass and treble knobs on the front and have set the receiver to allow me to use tone control. With turning the treble all the way down you can see the difference in the following graph.
