And for the 'industrial' or 'commercial' user, such mics should be sent back for Calibration probably annually.
I suspect such a calibration is NOT cheap, especially if you want NIST certification (home users don't)

What does the umik offer over the Emotiva mic? Would like to know as I may buy one. I found the easy use of a bery high caliber mic with calibration files specifically recorded for this mic more accurate and with less hiccups. YMMV The specific files are an extra charge but I found it to be a value. The mic from Emotiva will do but I found the UMIK mic to be superior in construction. Different calibration file can be downloaded depending on whether one wants to set up 2.1 stereo or multichannel configuration. This solution provides the ultimate flexibility, IMHO. |

very few measurement tools remain stable for long time periods. When I worked semiconductor processing I had my OWN standards for several films we grew or applied to silicon wafers. I also had a portable version which I carried in my 'kit'. But when the Auditors came in from other companies and the ISO groups, we needed to demonstrate that our standards were sent back to whoever did the NIST checks. All other standards were considered 'internal'. www.nist.gov/sites/default/files/documents/calibrations/aip-ch8.pdfMore than anyone would ever care to know about microphone calibration. For the REALLY obsessive / compulsive. |
