Looks like this is "just a mic" and you use it with REW or whatever. ($75)

EDIT: I now see the post on a Dayton mic that appears the same functionally, but does not look the same.

Re: New MiniDSP mic

The miniDSP mic has a built in DAC which makes it a lor different than the Dayton mic - no external HW is required, just plug the mic into a USB port. The specs (see previous post) look impressive to me for the price.

Re: New MiniDSP mic

A valiant effort, but I would like more than 48 khz sampling for good HD range. I am also concerned that the USB 1.0 might have more latency (but I am open to being enlightened by the gurus).

Re: New MiniDSP mic

I've got one, and have toyed around a little using it with REW... I don't have enough expertise or experience to say whether it's good or bad, but the plug-and-play aspects couldn't be simpler.

You'll see some concerns raised, you poke around in the miniDSP forums a bit... there've been a few "huh?" moments with cal files, and there's a running (well, sort of) discussion on the actual frequency-range capabilities -vs- how the UMIK-1 was initially advertised.
