Looking for a Calabrated measuring mic in Canada

mclsound · 17th July 2011, 11:49 AM

Hi guys
Where in Canada can I find a decent Calabrated Mic($100-$300max)for measuring my drivers.Any ideas/experience with a good mic?
thanks

Don't Long and McQuade sell the Behringer omni? Usually calibration means sending it off to a third party. Do a thread search. This has been discussed several times before.

ECM 8000 works fine. Mine is ~ +/- 1dB, an older one. Many of the newer ones are ~+2-3 at just above 10k, IIRC

You can just buy a microphone precalibrated from parts express, or send yours to Herb at Cross Spectrum Labs or Kim Girardin at wadenhome sound.

I have one that is +5 at 10k.

I'd suggest ordering one here (they also have the (VERY) similar Dayton.

I was in the same boat, but found what I liked if you need a preamp with it from: iSEMcon GmbH

Shipping to Canada was not that expensive - $30 all in and arrived in a week.

I use it with a Lynx L22 sound card - works perfect! Each kit is individually calibrated.

Hope that helps

+1 for Cross Spectrum Labs. I have a calibrated ECM8000 from them. It's perfect for speaker measurements. The calibration extends down to 10Hz or so, which is nice for subwoofer measurements.

I highly recommend getting one of their calibrated mics. There are several options for the type and sophistication of the calibration, but the basic one is fine for speaker work.
