Now this is disturbing news!
I will wait with my response until it is certain that we international customers have to pay transport costs for the Dirac hardware.

I am getting a little worried now what shipping costs for the Dirac mike for my XMC-1 will be. I am in Australia! Had my XMC-1 shipping notice Early in September. Great question early on in this thread by socketman. Could I use my calibrated umik-1 instead and not get Emotiva to send me their mike hence save quite a bit it seems? Come on Emotiva send me a key please and I will try it out with the mike I already have. Physically you can probably use the UMIK but I don't think there is a way to get Dirac to use the calibration file so results would be of no use.

Very disturbing news... Well Emotiva this is how you treat your costumers who pre-ordered and pre-payed for the XMC-1??? - they don't get the mic and the key before any unit goes out that wasn't a pre-order? - run out of mic??? - buyers (like me from the EU) out of the States have to pay for the mic delivery??? For an item that should be in the box from the begining? Nicely done Emotiva!

Don't forget that the Dirac lisense is not transferable! What's a Dirac "lisense"?

Don't forget that the Dirac lisense is not transferable! What's a Dirac "lisense"? It means that if you sell the XMC at any point, the new owner has to buy a new Dirac software License. It it not transferable.

Not a "lisense" I don't think that having to buy a new license is a big deal, but hopefully Emotiva will state the cost soon to put it to rest.

The faq states that Emo will not sell the LE version separately.

Should be $100 for Dirac for Emo full. The faq states that Emo will not sell the LE version separately. It's $99/100 for the upgrade to Dirac Live full from Dirac LE. It's still not clear if someone who has to buy the full version will get the (discounted?) $100 upgrade rate. If it it is $100, Paying 5% of the original XMC-1 cost for a license doesn't seem like a big deal.

Language barrier. Let's hope so. No language barrier here. "Lisense" isn't a word. However, both license and licence are words!

That's a great idea using a generic email! I plan on doing that so if and when I sell the XMC-1, it's a easy transfer. This is another one of those things that were not thought through very well. It's great that the unit sounds so good. I'm willing to deal with the not so optimal product management to save thousands of $$$$.

I have no doubt your Dutch and Norwegian are a 100 times better than mine! I meant no offense. Just cracking on the spelling is all. Didn't expect it to spill into other posts.

Hello all,
I am not sure who said we were out of mics, but they were mistaken. The shipping department may have been out at that moment, but I can assure you the production team is building them by the case load. So kits are going out everyday.
