If you already have one of the Behringer ECM8000, it's possible to reuse the internal PCB with some component substitutions to use the source-follower modded capsule in an appropriate way with phantom, and you get to reuse the mic body too! You won't want to reuse the capsule in the Behringer though, Behringer uses whatever they happened to source that week. I've modded four of these mics total, all four had different PCBs and different capsules. Once I looked closely, the body measurements were all slightly different too! I can snap pics / post the mod as I did it. I've had a pair of these mics calibrated by a BAS member here in Massachusetts, they tested very well.
