I think it's the amp, because what I hear on
the track is a lot what I hear in the room,
but I haven't got a great deal of data
to argue with. The recorded signal has
plenty of headroom, but I didn't have the
gain up much at all.

My story so far has been "d00d, yer amp just sounds
like that way up close."

You're probably quite right, but so many have heard amps through SM57's
that they really do not want to know what their amp really sounds like.

LMAO !

About where would one of these begin to overload?

note: I have two ECM 8000s connected to my 02R96 at church

Given that external attenuators are readily available and cheap, that's a
moot question.

ECM8000s have overload lights, and I'm under the impression that there is
some logical connection between their illumination state and actual
overload.

One caveat - I have one channel on my ECM8000 farm that lost half of its
mic input.

So, I'd try a different input on the ECM 8000.

Are we talking about the same thing? The topic is about this microphone:

Are you thinking of the ADA8000?

Yes, I was in error, but quickly "switched horses".

I have 2 ECM8000s that are hung over the platform at church, and connected
to my 02R96. I also have 2 ADA8000s hooked to the same O2R.

What mic pre @ what gain are you feeding it into ? It may be the mic pre
that's overloading.

Nope - got that covered. *Always* a great question, though. One
peaked about -6dB, the other about -12dB. Too hot, really, but
that's breaks.

It's easy to eliminate everything downstream of the microphone,
with an arbitrarily bigass pad, so the remaining question is
your original one.

Funny how Usenet works, but it's also a truly Scientific Method'y
one. Someone asks a question; everyone attempts to chip off any
inconsequential details; the questioner responds; interate as
needed, and as interest lasts. Sometimes the result is a Really
Good Question, the highest of Human pursuits. Might have a good'un
here.


Much thanks, as always,

Behringer are not that helpful in my expereince but George Gleason in
aapl-s swears
that the US / world ? rep will go out of his way to find out. Jim Savery I
think it
is. Drop a line to George in aapl-s and he'll have his contact details.

Jim is a really good guy, but unfortunately I don't have his email anymore.

I reckon I've learnt as much on Usenet as I've contributed. An excellent
medium.
