Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the measurement data?
The UMIK-1 includes calibration files unique to your microphone, allowing tools like REW and Dirac Live to interpret the data correctly and apply accurate correction filters. With the calibration file applied, the measurements are accurate to within ±1 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Can it handle loud playback levels?
Yes. The UMIK-1 is designed to handle high SPLs, making it ideal for speaker and subwoofer calibration.
Do I need to install drivers?
No. It’s USB audio class 1-compliant, so it works out of the box on modern operating systems, including macOS, Windows and Linux, without the need for drivers.
Is it better than an analogue mic with phantom power?
For room and speaker measurements, yes. It’s simpler, more portable and doesn’t require an interface or preamp. Unless you’re doing professional studio recording, the UMIK-1 is usually the better tool for the job.
Is it worth upgrading from the UMIK-1 to the UMIK-2?
The miniDSP UMIK-2 offers higher resolution, greater dynamic range and better accuracy. If you’re happy with your UMIK-1 results, you may not need to upgrade — but the UMIK-2 can give more detailed measurements if you want extra precision.
Can I use it to record music or vocals?
It’s technically possible, but it’s not designed for that. The UMIK-1 is optimised for accurate frequency and SPL measurements, not for recording vocals or instruments.
