Which mic setup is "best"?

3034 Views 10 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  brucek
I spent some time searching (although maybe not very well) for what may be a good mic to use for REW. I've been using the software for some time very successfully with my old style Radio Shack meter. What I want is to start using REW for more than just my sub. I'd like to start using it to help treat my room and understand how the rest of my frequency response is doing. I'd like to see what changes I make look like compared to just what they sound like. So I'm looking for a good mic setup and I of course know about the ECM8000. Is this what I should get, or are there other alternatives that may be better? I'm not looking to spend a bunch of money, but if there is a good reason I should consider something else, please let me know.

Thank you.

If money is tight (being close to Christmas and all), you can eBay the mixer and mic for 40-50% less than what they cost new. These items are typically used by recording hobbyists and are not abused, like more "serious" pro gear often is, so they're a pretty safe bet bought used.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that there is no shortage of vendors selling new items. Look for individuals selling actual used items...
