Microphone calibration file
Each UMIK-1 measurement microphone is individually calibrated to ensure accuracy. To
download the unique calibration file for your microphone, go to the
UMIK-1 page
and enter your
microphone's serial number. It is in the form xxx-yyyy and labelled on the microphone. Ensure
that you download both the regular calibration file and the “90-degree” calibration file. (The
latter is generated specifically for use with the nanoAVR DL.)
Then click on the
Load file
button and select your calibration file.
For home theater applications, it is best to use the 90-degree calibration file as this
is created specifically for the vertical microphone orientation. This file is
downloaded with the suffix “_90deg” in the file name.
Once you have verified that this tab is correct, click the
Proceed
button.
