Room Correction Mics

I'm looking forward to the clock

"clock" - do you want "clock"

I used wiim rc with imm-6 and houseCurve with the same imm-6 but with calibration file (which I had to insert the results manually to wiim eq) . TOTALLY DIFFERENT RESULTS. HouseCurve gave me amazing upgrade

I'm interested--but I have Android. What/how do you feel was improved over Wiim RC?

Has anyone tried Room Acoustics Meter (Gaussoftware)?

.....Background I am asking is that I get some strange results with RC. There seems to be a dip at around 80Hz which is not being correct d at all. Therefore I was possibly using the wrong mic (front top of ipad). Or is this a bug?

A dip around 80hz is perfectly understandable in relation to room size & placement of the drivers producing bass at this frequency.

My room acoustic treatment includes very deep corner bass traps but the positions I have chosen for speakers/subs and my listening chair still result in a slight bass null* at a similar frequency that no amount of eq boost would reconcile. It has no impact on my listening pleasure so no need to fret about it.

There are places in the room where I can achieve an even flatter bass response but would impact on other frequencies. Unless we build a 'perfect' listening space there will always be compromises.

(*using Earthworks M23 with calibration file)

Impulse $5.99 purchase this week. It gives very strange room correction settings… why?

It is a microphone designed for voice recording and not for audio measurements.
As such it might not be omnidirectional, it might not cover the full audio spectrum, it probably has a non-flat frequency response (without a calibration file to compensate) and it might have some kind of background noise suppression function. Additionally, wireless audio transmission is probably using lossy encoding.
Any (or all) of these could cause issues with room response measurements.

Has anyone tried to use the DaytonAudio iMM-6C with an iPhone with lightning connection, using a usb-c to lightning adapter? My iPhone 13 does not recognize the iMM-6C that I have. Question is: do I need another (better) adapter? Or do I need another mic (e.g. the iMM-6 with the jack and an adapter to go with that). I read different opinions on this topic, so I am hoping to find someone who has actual hands-on experience with the issue.

I believe that you need the Apple Camera Adapter in order for your microphone to be recognised.

Thank you. Anyone who can confirm this? And/or someone who has used the iMM 6 (without C, i.e. with a jack) in combination with a jack to lightning adapter? Buying an iMM-6 and a jack/lightning adapter would be cheaper than buying the Apple camera adapter...

Not this specific case. But my experience with any third party lightning adapters is a very bad one. It was always a gamble. The Apple camera adapter was the only reliable connection. The companies' change to USB-C, for whatever reason, was my moment going full iOS.
