miniDSP UMIK-1 Calibrated Measurement Microphone

I feel guilty admitting it but I planned on returning this mic after using it to set up Dirac on my ARCAM AVR. The microphone feel solid and well built with its metal housing, the stand it comes with also feels like its meant to last and not cheap plastic. I originally tried to use an Anthem MRX ARC mic to use with Dirac but that failed horribly. After using this I had no issues and the setup was smooth and easy. After using it to calibrate my AVR I decided to keep it! Awesome calibration microphone. I used it with a pair of SVS Ultra Evolution Bookshelf speakers and SVS 17 Ultra Evolution sub. Results make everything more harmonious. One of the best upgrades for calibrating your new AVR.
