Is the sensitivity figure an open-loop voltage (load impedance >> source impedance) or a voltage delivered to a preamp input impedance which may be low enough to make a difference?

EMM-6 source impedance is quoted as 200 ohms. My microphone preamp (EMU 0404 USB) has an input impedance of 1500 ohms. The voltage at the preamp would then be 1500/1700 = 0.882... times the open-loop voltage or approximately -1 dB.

Very interesting question, I would like to use the same preamp as well.

Interesting question indeed.

It's an open-loop voltage measurement.

Thanks, it is good to know!

Hi everyone,

I've been getting a bunch of messages essentially asking "where's my microphone"?

Since you've given me your hard-earned money, that is a completely reasonable question deserving of an answer.

I've shipped out ~35 mics so far. Up to this point I've been attempting to get mics out a few at a time every day on first-come, first-served order basis out of a sense of trying to be fair. I've come to realize that this was horribly inefficient so what I've been doing is processing mics in lots of 75 to try to get them out.

Orders placed before Sep 21, should go out by Weds (a few might dribble out on Thursday). I mentioned earlier in this thread and on the order page that orders placed after 9/21 won't ship until Oct 6. However, I might be able to get a few basic orders out before than.

Please be patient. If this isn't acceptable to anyone, you may of course have your order refunded. If you have a specific need, contact me directly and I'll see what I can do for you.

Thx

Anechoic,

I'm in absolutely no hurry for mine as I don't have the other equipment I need to use it and wont for awhile. So feel free to take your time with mine.

Drat, just found this thread that was emailed to me. Is it too late? I know he is on a wedding trip.
I definately want one to go with my ISF gear.

**Anechoic** · **10-05-09, 04:14 PM**

Update: about 2/3 of the orders have been shipped out. A few trickled out today, a few will trickle out tomorrow, and the bulk of the remainder should go out on Wednesday. Some people made special requests when making their orders - those orders will hopefully go out by the end of the week.

BTW, I will have extras. Stay tuned.

**antilog** · **10-05-09, 05:05 PM**

Sorry I didn't check this thread before emailing. Not a hurry, just checking status.

**Anechoic** · **10-05-09, 05:20 PM**

Don't sweat it, I was away for the weekend and now that I'm back I just wanted to give a status update. You good people have given me your money and you all have every right to know when you should expect to get what you paid for.

**nerdful1** · **10-05-09, 06:47 PM**

Just want to confirm that I want one of the extras. I will now look back on the postings on how to get this money out of my pocket and into yours. Too bad about the end of the 5.00 discount, but is more than worth it overall. And no rush for me, take care of the ones in dire need first.

Edit: done, but forgot to include my hts name.

**Anechoic** · **10-08-09, 10:38 AM**

I had hoped to wrap up all the orders by yesterday, but they didn't happen - all the mics are finished, but printing invoices, keeping track of orders and packing everything is taking forever. On the plus side, a few of you (accidentally) got free upgrades with your orders. Enjoy!

As for everyone else - final order group will ship tomorrow.

**Euterpe** · **10-08-09, 11:53 AM**

Mine was delivery yesterday in good shape, I gonna start soon as possible and follow up this experiment :-)

Thank you.

**yobbo** · **10-08-09, 07:31 PM**

Mine has arrived this morning in Australia in good nick. Thanking you.

**easyrider** · **10-08-09, 08:25 PM**

Hello,

I just got here.

Are there any mikes left over?

Thanks!
Bill

**Anechoic** · **10-09-09, 04:18 PM**

Okay people, I just returned from the Post Office where I dropped off the last group. With one exception, everyone's mics should be on their way, or already delivered.

About those leftover mics - I wrote before that I would get around to selling those next week. I lied

I have seven mics left over. I'm selling them at the discounted price, but without the additional $5 discount for HTS members. However, I'm posting this here a couple of days before I post in other forums to give you guys a little head start.

There is a limit of two microphones per person. If you order more than two, I will cancel the order refund your money (and you'll lose you place in line).

Shipping: Mics will go out no later than Wed, Oct 14 and I should be able to get Basic and Basic Plus orders out before then.

Order here.

**JimP** · **10-11-09, 10:53 AM**

I do have a question about about how to take care of the mic.

Previously, on my ECM8000 mic, I'd leave it on the light stand with the cord attached so I'd have less stuff to put together whenever I got the urge to run REW.

I see that the EMM6 comes inside of a plastic bag with those drying crystals. Is that really necessary once the owner gets it if the mic is kept in an air conditioned space ?

**NewbieMark** · **10-11-09, 11:14 AM**

I just placed an order for one.
I know I missed the $5 HTS discount, but this is still a good deal.
Thank you for doing this.
Mark

As long as you're not actually using it in the rain, you should be fine treating it the same as your ECM8000. The bag and desiccant (I think) are just for shipping purposes.

**Anechoic** · **10-12-09, 12:02 PM**

One unit left as of noon today. If you order and get a "sold out" message, check here first and than contact me directly - I think the inventory counter might be malfunctioning. When I'm sold out I'll post an update here.

**JimP** · **10-12-09, 12:29 PM**

It sure is nice having a new mic with its own calibration file.

No more wondering if you happen to have gotten a mic that the generic file didn't correct.

**Anechoic** · **10-12-09, 12:48 PM**

Also, wrt to deals on ECM8000/EMM-6 or other similar mics - if any of you ever stumble upon a sale on that type (or really, any type) of microphone, please let me know and I'll be happy to do the same thing and buy a bunch of them and pass on the savings.

**Anechoic** · **10-13-09, 10:05 AM**

Update: all gone guys!

Edit with yet another update: see update on next page, I have *1* left.

**DanTheMan** · **10-13-09, 11:48 AM**

Shoot! I'm late to the party. Please let us know if such a thing ever happens again. I just ordered my new soundcard and mic pre, downloaded REW, but I have no calibrated mic.

**Euterpe** · **10-13-09, 04:30 PM**

Ok, let's talk about what's in the box

All is top shape, very good packaging, safe and lightweight.

Regards

**AudioIronHorse** · **10-13-09, 05:05 PM**

Waiting for my mic to come.. So now I need to get a power source for it. Is the Behringer PS400 phantom power supply from PE satisfactory? I see it's only $19.99. Is this power supply recommended for this mic or should I look at getting something else?
Thanks all,
D
