Mic Config tab
On the Mic Config tab, set the following parameters.
Recording device
Preset to the UMIK-1.
If UMIK-1 is not showing, ensure that the UMIK-1
is connected securely to the computer via USB,
then go back to the Sound System tab and click on
Rescan. Then use the drop-down menu to select
the UMIK-1.
Recording channel
Select 1 from the drop-down menu.
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
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 miniDSP’s multi-channel Dirac Live® processors such
as the nanoAVR DL and DDRC-88A.)
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.
