3.3.2 Mic Config tab
On the Mic Config tab, set the following parameters.
Recording device
Preset to the UMIK-1. (If this is not present, ensure that
the UMIK-1 is connected securely to the computer via
USB, and go back to the Sound System tab and click on
Rescan. Then select the “Microphone” item underneath
“UMIK-1”, as shown at right.)
Recording channel
Select 1 from the drop-down menu.
Microphone calibration file
Each UMIK-1 measurement microphone is individually calibrated to ensure accuracy. To
download the unique calibration file for your microphone, go to the UMIK-1 page and enter your
microphone's serial number. It is in the form xxx-yyyy and labelled on the microphone. Select
the option to download the 90-degree calibration file, and use "Save As" in your browser to save
the data to a text file – for example, UMIK-7001870.txt.
Then click on the Load File button and select your calibration file.
For accurate results, it is important that the 90-degree calibration file be used, as this is
created specifically for the vertical microphone orientation.
Once you have verified that this screen is correct, click the Proceed button.
