## Overview

The UMIK-1 USB Measurement Calibrated Microphone is a professional-grade, omnidirectional USB mic designed for precise acoustic measurements. It features a unique calibration file per unit for accurate SPL and frequency response, supports plug & play operation across Windows, Mac, Linux, and iOS without drivers, and includes essential accessories like a mini tripod, windscreen, and padded case. Compatible with all major acoustic software, it’s the go-to tool for sound engineers and audiophiles seeking reliable, hassle-free room and speaker calibration.

## Description

The UMIK-1 is an omni-directional USB measurement microphone providing Plug & Play acoustic measurement. From speaker & room acoustic measurement to recording, this microphone provides low noise and accurate results you can rely on. Forget about driver installation, OS compatibility and un-calibrated mics. The Umik-1 is a USB Audio class 1 device automatically recognized by all Operating Systems (Windows/Mac) and Ipad with Camera Connection Kit. It is provided with a unique calibration file based on the serial number to insure an accurate measurement. Combined with our recommended acoustic measurement software, it is the perfect match for a plug&play measurement system.

Review: 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!
Review: 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Re: why are amazon/amazon resellers charging almost $25 more than the manufacterer charges direct?  msrp on this item is $75, not $98 and change.**
A: Today (2/9/22) selling for $137.  After tax (here 7%) total $146.59.  Likewise, the manufacturer $79 plus $25 (shipping to N America) total $104.00.  Difference; $42.59 cheaper buying direct.  

I hope this helps as there are other answers to this question that are false.

**Q: How do these settings transfer to your av receiver? you save the settings to your laptop but how is my speakers calibrated if i cant transfer to my av**
A: I use REW - Room EQ Wizard software V5.20.  Connect mic to your laptop, configure mic via REW, run REW, manually set your AV speakers settings based on output/readings from REW.  I'm over simplifying the process, but basically that's it.

**Q: Does the calibration data included with this mic include time domain in addition to frequency domain information?**
A: You only need one or the other, and it doesn't matter which you get.  The standard is frequency domain.  The Fourier Transform, or FFT, which is the underlying algorithm operating on the measured data, converts between frequency and time domains as needed.  Short answer: frequency domain is all you need.

**Q: Does this work with Android 5.0 or higher?**
A: If your intentions are to use a RTA (Real Time Analyzer) or REW (Room EQ Wizard) for room calibration of your sound system via an AVR along with a PC or MAC, then no.  I suppose you could search and find an Android 5.0 app that might work with the UMIK-1 mic, I haven't tried it with my Note 3 which is Android 5.0.  I'm not sure what Android app would be compatible with the UMIK-1, you could try to contact miniDSP directly and see what they say. https://www.minidsp.com/
