Source: Digitec GalaxusAfter the listening test it was already clear that the ECM-673 would not win the test. With its good sensitivity and the rich sound, only more expensive reference directional speakers can keep up. At the same time, the 673 has become very compact. A camcorder with XLR connection and phantom power is a must, otherwise nothing works.
