“Fast shipping - I ordered around 9 a.m. and the microphone was already shipped at noon. Arrived very quickly. The microphone is very solidly made and, together with the holder, packed in a nice package.
I work with mixes in an imperfect room, on LSR monitors from JBL. Above 1khz it's very ok, but below that I have a lot of problems with this room.
The measurement itself is efficient and the instructions are clear, you will definitely get it right. The measurement results are very repeatable. You can use a microphone stand, but the measurement is very, very similar even without it.
In my case, it was literally the effect of 'removing the blanket' from the speakers. I think it was mainly due to equalizing the 150-400 range, which was responsible for the boxy sound, and also tidying up the bass below 100 Hz. Now bass is more audible and I feel how it “works”. I didn't expect such an effect!
Cool feature - you can adjust the range of the band to be corrected using the area sliders in the Custom Target profile.
The advice I've seen is to gradually increase the amount of correction using the dry/wet dial, over a few weeks. The idea is to get used to the new sound. I chose to make it 100% from the beginning. It's like I had new monitors! And it's just the joy of listening. I recommend it this way, but you can try and modify it as you like.
I also really liked the headphone correction, which I had already tested (in the version without a microphone). I know well the sound of my headphones, but after calibration they do not have that difficult peak treble at 8kHz, which is the problem with this model, and the bass has also become even and it goes lower. This gives me a completely new listening perspective. Currently, I choose listening with calibration more and more often.
It's great that there is a systemwide driver available and I can listen to any application with calibration, YouTube, Tidal, etc. - a huge advantage and convenience. It is my default playback device in Windows now. And it works just flawless.
To sum up, I already feel much more confident doing the mix. I definitely recommend it, especially where you cannot afford extensive (and also more expensive) acoustic adaptation. Listening to music is now even more of a pleasure, so I recommend it not only to music creators. One of the best audio gear investments past last years.”
“The software itself is fantastic; it's sleek and has loads of cool features. I would love it if there were more headphones to choose from; I haven't seen a big improvement in the catalog ever since I tried the software a year or so ago. I specifically hoped for the 80-ohm version of the DT990 Pros to be on there, but it hasn't shown up yet. Alas, the speakers' sound correction is amazing.”
“It's a very good product. Be aware that it takes a while to set up and you will "bear" all sorts of frequencies. I had some trouble setting up, but the support team is really helpful.”
