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
-d
egree” calibration file
. (The
latter is generated specifically for use with miniDSP’s multi
-channel Dirac Live® processors such
as the
DDRC-88D
and the
nanoAVR DL
.)
Then click on the
Load File
button and select your calibration file.
For surround sound 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.
