miniDSP UMIK-1 Omni-Directional USB Measurement Calibrated Microphone

Product Information

In this application note, we will show you how to integrate a subwoofer with your existing loudspeakers by using a miniDSP 2x4 HD. You can use an existing preamp, or replace a preamp and a DAC with the miniDSP 2x4 HD. (In the latter case, you will need to program a remote control to adjust volume in the miniDSP 2x4 HD.) Then open the Configuration screen (the "gear" icon), and tap on I/O Device Configuration and then Input Channels. You will see the UMIK-1 has been selected: At this stage the steps to start your YouTube/Facebook/Twitch Live stream or recording a local stream will be similar to any stereo content. If you're not familiar with setting up OBS for Youtube/Facebook live, we recommend you follow some of the great step by step guides to get you started knowing this is a common question. Here are some great examples: You're now up and running with the Audio side. You'll want to add your webcam or external video sources to the sources of OBS as per the manual of OBS. The UMIK-1 is an omni-directional USB measurement microphone providing Plug & Play acoustic measurement.

Dirac Live: As a well known reference in the world of room correction with countless high end audio/automotive, we're honored to have Dirac as part of our partners. The UMIK-1 is the recommended microphone by Dirac Research.Based on another thread it might also be that your signal level is a bit low for the UMIK-2. Are your results repeatable? For cheap mics, I recommend the Sonarworks XREF20. You need to find a supplier who will sell them, since they’re meant to only be replacements for the bundled one with the software. Note: the distortion components may include distortion from the microphone, so take care in interpreting these results. The UMIK-2 is of course fully compatible with REW (Room EQ Wizard) and Dirac Live (version 3 and later). Driverless operation with macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, and a supplied ASIO driver for Windows ensure simple integration into many other measurement and recording applications. With the UMIK-2, miniDSP once agains stretch the limits of affordable acoustic measurement gear. Let the measurement fun begin! Features

Please note: miniDSP cannot provide support for third-party applications or hardware. This app note shows you how to set up the miniDSP UMIK-1 to use with SignalScope Pro but other functions of the Apple iPad or the SignalScope Pro app are beyond the scope of miniDSP support. At this stage, the ambiMIK-1 should be live and ready to stream audio as you'll notice from the RMS meters in the Audio Mixer section. Make sure to use the ambiMIK-1 gain utility (see user manual) to modify the internal gain for proper signal as you speak/play music... The yellow section from -20~-10dB is what we'd typically recommend.In this app note, we will demonstrate subwoofer integration for miniDSP'sstereoDirac Live processors using only the Dirac Live app for measurement Next stage is to configure the ASIO source. We'll select the miniDSP ASIO driver(previously installed) and follow the below example configuration.

Tap on Sig Gen at the bottom of the screen. You can experiment with the different types of test signal here. For now, set it as shown below, adjusting the volume so that it plays through the system at a comfortable level. Ensure that the signal generator is enabled at the top right, and turn signal generation on and off with Play/Pause button (next to the Headphones label at the top left. Adjust the level with the iPad volume control and the Noise Amplitude slider, and use the Noise Pan control to send output to only one speaker.For stereo system (e.g. 2ch dirac live, single speaker measurement), use the 0deg file and point the UMIK-2 at the speakers Amarra Symphony: Amarra Symphony with IRC is an advanced music file player for the Apple Mac platform. It includes a feature called "Impulse Response Correction" (IRC), that corrects for acoustical errors at the listening position caused by early reflections from the speaker and listening room. It also provides the ability to tailor the response at the listening position using target curves. The Options screen can be used to set options, such as octave or third-octave display, frequency weighting, response time, and whether or not the display scales automatically. As a standard USB audio microphone, UMIK-2 is compatible with any software. The following proven platforms with plug&play integration.
