About GAUGE ECM-84

Take your audio recording to the next level with the ECM-84 Cardioid Condenser Microphone, a high-quality, small diaphragm microphone that excels in capturing crystal-clear sound with precision. Designed for professional use, this durable and reliable microphone is the ideal tool for recording a wide range of acoustic instruments, including the intricate nuances of an acoustic guitar, the shimmering tones of cymbals, and the dynamic rhythms of percussion.

When deployed in a stereo pair, the ECM-84 shines as it effortlessly captures the expansive sound of drum overheads or the full-bodied resonance of an ensemble. Its versatility extends to live performances and broadcast applications, where it delivers a clear and natural sound profile. The microphone's crisp presence peak ensures that every detail of the audio is articulated, making it a standout choice for both studio and stage settings.

The ECM-84's cardioid polar pattern is specifically engineered to focus on sound from the front while minimizing unwanted noise from the sides and rear, making it perfect for targeted audio capture in challenging environments such as concert halls and theaters. This directional precision is further enhanced by the inclusion of three interchangeable capsules - cardioid, omnidirectional, and super-cardioid - allowing you to tailor the pickup pattern to suit any recording situation.

Built with the user in mind, the ECM-84 features a 10db attenuation switch to manage loud sound sources and a low-frequency roll-off switch to reduce rumble and handling noise, ensuring clean and undisturbed recordings. The microphone's robust construction is complemented by a hardwood case for secure storage and transport, as well as a shock-mount to reduce mechanical vibrations.

Whether you're a seasoned audio professional or an enthusiast seeking to capture high-fidelity sound, the ECM-84 Cardioid Condenser Microphone from Gauge is a sound investment in your audio equipment arsenal. Its combination of professional-grade quality, adaptability, and exceptional audio clarity makes it a superior choice for discerning audio engineers and musicians.
