wvu80 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 EDIT: Umik1 found WTB Umik1. I want to get into the calibration game. An equivalent Dayton Audio model will be considered. You might even want to upgrade to the new and improved Umik2, I can help fund that purchase. If you have one you're not using let me know. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UMM 6 has an XLR cable. It looks like that mic will not work with my laptop. Am I correct about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbphoto Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 If you plan on using REW software, then get a Umik-1 or 2. It comes with a microphone calibration file that REW reads to understand the characteristics of your particular Umik. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem was you need to download a calibration file that I couldn't get it to do. Others on the net got it to work, I could not. Some people on the net say it's easy to do, not being a computer guy I didn't think so. Just wanted to be upfront, if not good with computers I would follow above advice. That said, still for sale if your interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me get back to you. I've got plans now but the mic looks like it uses a USB cable. I swear that's not what I read last night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a search on how to download file see if your comfortable with doing download and we can go from there. I found what I saw yesterday. There are two models with the same name! One is USB, the other is XLR. You have the USB which is what I can use. Let me send you a PM and we'll discuss price. I am OK with finding the calibration file and I think you can find it too at PE Tech Support. +++ Concurrently, why don't you contact Tech support at PE? I'm sure they could send you the proper file. I don't want to buy your mic out from under you (which is worth the most to you) and then find out that file was available to you. I found this info on the site: Please email or call our Tech Support Team for assistance at tech@parts-express.com or 800-338-0531 option 1.

Glad your EMM6 can now be calibrated. It turns out the calibration file was on PE in the form of a .txt file. Thanks for working with me @Lbk. Good luck to us both of us in calibrating our systems. I think the work has just begun. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
