Measurement roundup!
Since I do get asked what hardware to purchase for acoustic measurement, I figured I better come up with a good recommendation. To that end, I’ve selected and purchased some items that I will be evaluating for the September issue:
From left to right:
- Calibrated Dayton EMM-6 microphone from Cross-Spectrum Labs
- MOTU Microbook II
- Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (they must have a problem with the paint mixer, as this one is anything but scarlet!)
I’ve gone with recent hardware (USB Class 2), as I think there are some advantages to it, rather than the cheapest possible. It is, nonetheless, an amazing investment in the quality of sound you will experience from your system. More in September.
