  • This MIC Makes Things So Much Easier
If you need to make acoustical measurements but don't want to invest thousands of dollars in equipment this USB mike from miniDSP is well worth it. It comes with 2 calibration files: Once you receive the mic you go to the miniDSP website, enter the serial number of the mic and then download 2 calibration data files. One of the files will say "90-degree" in the filename; That is for using the mic pointed at the ceiling. The other calibration file is for pointing the mic at the sound source, such as a speaker or speakers. This mic works very well with the free software program called REW (Room EQ Wizard). Though REW is free, it's full of great tools to help with room acoustic measurement as well as speaker measurements if you're building your own speakers. NOTE: The UMIK-1 mic has a build in analog to digital converter (DAC) so you DO NOT need to calibrate your sound card; The only time you need to calibrate the sound card is if your mic is analog; the exact procedure depends on the analog mic and interface you're using. With the UMIK-1, you just plug it into a USB port on your PC, start REW and go into PREFERENCES to set the mic as the input source, then load one of the calibration files you previously downloaded. Once you do that you are ready to test the mic and run a room sweep. Of course, the output of your PC (headphone jack) needs to be plugged into the audio system in the room you run sweeps for. Some have complained about the USB connectivity with this mic. So far, I have not had any issues. I will report back here perhaps in the future with an update if any problems develop. Otherwise, if you need a hi-quality calibration mic and don't want to deal with a analog mic and soundcard calibration, the UMIK-1 is the way to go. ... show more

  • Simple and effective microphone with very good accuracy
I’ve been using the UMIK-1 for years now. After five years of consistent use the first one went bad. This was my replacement for the exact same model. There is no single perfect measurement microphone. I supplement with a second microphones to ease speaker development; however, for room acoustics and finalized speaker measurements in general, this microphone is all you’ll ever need to validate acoustics. I utilize a more complex microphone, DAC, and amplifier combination to find speaker-driver offsets only during any speaker design phase. These driver offsets “can” be calculated using the UMIK and some careful calculations, but cannot automatically be accounted for with a single microphone/DAC combo. I’m lazy and have my adapted process; however, I have, and still can do a complete design with the UMIK only. UMIK’s plug and play connection with related measurements software is simply impressive. Although there’s a large learning curve regarding software tools like REW to become proficient with usage, this microphone makes it as simple stupid as any microphone could. Software developers are always working hard in the background to improve the software to make the mic more useful yet. For the price of the UMIK -1 you can’t go wrong for what it does. Great mic! ... show more

  • A calibrated mike worth owning
If you are considering using REW to assess the frequency response of a space (such as a home theater or some other sort of media room), this is the mike to own. There really isn't any substitute other than the UMIK-2, which is MUCH more expensive. It is easy to install and works flawlessly.

  • Good microphone
Very easy to use with the audio program I plugged it into. Takes accurate readings.

  • Does better than expected!!!!
I bought an Emotiva XMC-1 Processor about 7 months ago. Amongst that I have an svs ultra tower 7.1 surround system and an svspb4000 sub. Nice setup or so I thought. The mic that came with the from emotiva would give too many varying results and too many disappointing playback results especially way too light in the sub area almost every time. I decided to try the ECM8000 from Behringer becuz it was cheaper @ $55 instead of UMIK-1@ $100. The ECM800 $55, driver $45, phantom power $25 and last but not least hdmi $8 total of $133 dollars. The ecm8000 did a flat response, but again the sub was too lean until I went into Dirac and changed the sub settings which didn't sound the best. Not bad though. I was not happy with dirac so far. I could send all the extra sh#$t for the ecm8000 back except the mic. If anyone has an emotiva $2500 processor or higher price. Get the umik-1. The emotiva mic was way too sensitive so when it runs dirac it wants to turn the sub way lean. Tweaking it every calibration gets old but , I could get it humpin. Now the UMIK-1 was a whole new ball game. First calibration made adjustments to dirac. Im just used to do n that. Played some movies and music sounded good but, I wanted to play more. Went to dirac omg my file didn't save. 2 nights later I ran dirac again with the umik-1....same results again. I decided not to touch the sub section this time and just give a whirl Wow..what a world of a whirl it turned out to be. This mic is less sensitive so there for it needs the subs to be present and it is very much present. It picks up down to 8hz or so. It sounds like a real movie theater now. I missed all of this thunder and over all detail for what!!! Minidsp offers other sound correction programs and how to set up guides. I think it's a very nice touch for " just buying" their mic. ... show more
