UMIK-2 is NOT a 'better' UMIK-1. It has a larger mic, and that has implications (that I don't remember).

You can post the .MDAT here, imgur.com, or your favorite audio forum. Most of us are amateurs, FYI.

Drag those files onto a web page of this: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload

You have assumed that Erin and Amir aren't aware of that. They are. They both listen first, then look at the measurements, and correlate ears to measurements.

My suggestion is that you try all variations, and compare the graphs. I think the largest consensus is to slowly sweep the 'head space' or the entire row of listener's head spaces while using pink noise. I run a sweep for each ear, at the ear's location in space, with the mic pointing at the...

My Carver Amazing dipoles radiate strongly out to ~75*, and maybe more (I didn't check any further). They are a trapezoid 3' wide at top, 4' wide at bottom, and 5' high, so somewhat similar in size to the ML's.

Could I beg you to post the REW data file? I want to see how my speakers compare. Thank you.

I originally searched the internet, and then reviews for units that fit my price range, and that were portable. I wanted to listen to Sennheiser 800s headphones with a laptop. After I digitized all my music, I wanted a good measuring DAC for my main system. I used Audio Science Review's...

I have been using both for more than 5 years. John-does exclusive mode bypass EQapo?

I play FLAC thru a laptop. I use EQapo to equalize my speakers. I export text files generated by REW's EQ function. I put the files in .txt files, and put the names of those .txt files into EQapo's default .txt file in the EQapo directory. (I can't remember the name of the default file...

I had problems with two different ~15 foot cables. I went back to the one supplied, no problems then. (And I have a new, and old UMIK-1). FYI.

You can create a downloadable file of a 20hz-20,000hz sweep. Then play it on the church system. REMEMBER to include the beginning and ending timing chirps!

" Is it better to measure and equalize based on quasi-anechoic conditions?" It is crucial. Your ear/brain notices the freq response from the direct radiation of the speaker, disregarding (for the most part) the reflections of all objects around the speaker. Your measurement mic doesn't...

Room reflections will play a huge part in the smoothness of the curve. You'd have to suspend the speaker 20 feet in the air, or use an anechoic chamber, to match the mfr's curve.

If that doesn't work, try a shorter USB cable. Ask me how I know!
