Room correction

Did they finally reply or not?

No reply but the status is now "Being processed"

Quick question.. probably already answered by someone. Is it / will it be possible to apply a calibration file for my iMM-6c microphone in the app? Does this calibration file significantly affect the measurement? If so, and the file cannot be uploaded, is it better to use REW?

We don't know if calibration files will be added in the future. For now you could apply Room Correction in the WiiM app and check the results in REW.

Not the other way around? Use REW with calibration file to do RC, and apply the results in Wiim app?

You can do it both ways but if you want to see how well the WiiM RC works use it for RC then use REW to measure the response of the system with the WiiM EQ enabled. Ideally it would follow your chosen target curve.

Is rc on wiim on par with rew? I ask because I never use it.

In a word no. To start WiiM at most relies on two short sweeps R-L rather than averaging multiple sweeps from multiple positions.

Until it includes the subwoofer it is hard to tell.

Just got a reply saying it will be fixed in the next version. Shame it couldn't have been fixed in the app version released today. It can't be a difficult fix as it was working correctly in the beta before they added the toggle

This will explain a little of my confusion here

The latest WiiM Home App has fixed the room correction below the subwoofer crossover and also added the evaluation sweep after the correction

I am using android with MiniDSP UMIK-1 for room correction. Is there an option I can load calibration file of UMIK on the app?

No. This has been answered regularly on the forum...

Thanks, my bad I couldn't figure it out. Is it under consideration, will this be available in future versions?

 

[Burnside]

It has frequently been requested but as far as I recall, there has been no definitive response from WiiM one way or another.

Can anyone help out, i did what the manual said but i have this peak near the treble region. Measured with my samsung with mic faced to the speakers.

My room is certainly not optimal and echoes a bit.

Thank i.a

In your other post you were told it was your phone microphone.

1. How does it sound to you? Have you tried manually reducing the gain for that peak to see if it sounds better to you?
2. You’re normally advised to leave the range at 40hz-4khz - you seem to be trying to apply it to the full range. Try rerunning it with the reduced range and again see if you prefer how that sounds

Thank you, ill try that.

Im looking to buy a microphone. I assume its connected through the usb in the back?

I used a Dayton IMM-6C which has a usb-c connection which plugged into my phone.
