Frequently asked questions
SoundID Reference for Speakers FAQ
You can use any omnidirectional condenser measurement microphone. Please note that we will not be able to consult the calibration outcome if you are not using an individually calibrated microphone. USB measurement microphones are not supported and will not work correctly with the software.
Make sure your sample rate is set to 44.1 kHz.
Yes, you can. You will need to measure each system separately and load the respective profile in the plug-in/Systemwide for the set you are going to use.
