What is a Unique Calibration File?

There seems to be some confusion online about how miniDSP calibrates its microphones, so letโ€™s break it down simply:


- Each microphone undergoes three individual calibration steps at the factory to ensure accurate frequency response and SPL (Sound Pressure Level) calibration. These measurements are performed per microphone, not as part of a batch process.


- Once calibration is complete, miniDSP generates a dedicated text file that contains the specific calibration data for that microphone. This file is then linked to the microphoneโ€™s serial number, making it truly uniqueโ€”just as the name suggests.


Hope this clears things up!


Which calibration file should I use and where to point the UMIK-1?

- For stereo system (e.g. 2ch dirac live, single speaker measurement), use the 0deg file and point the UMIK-1 at the speakers
- For multichannel system (E.g. 5.1/7.1) or a surround application where multiple speakers are spreadout around the room, use the 90deg file and point the UMIK-1 at the ceiling.
