“I have to split the review into two parts.
1) Software, workflow and the excellent reference result.
Using the software and microphone was easy and quick process. And the result completely surprised me. I calibrated my Adam Studio monitors and two headphones AKG K701 and Beyerdynamics and was blown away by the result.
>> Recommendation: Stop reading reviews, order the product and give it a try. You won't regret it and you don't risk anything thanks to the right of return
2) Integration with Universal Audio Appollo & Room Correction
A Universal Audio interface is not a must but if you have one like me, the combination is a absolut win. It is amazing how well the integration has been implemented. Once implemented, the calibration is now an integral part of the console - brilliant. And it works really well, no bug-fixing marathons or hours of trial and error and forum study.
>> Again give it a test ride and you will not be disappointed.
Last but not least a small (in my case huge) bonus topic:
The product is not meant for room correction. Room correction has to be fixed optimally in a first stage and is the job of mainly physically changes to your room. But its not always possible to make huge but needed changes like in my case. I had some very bad frequency responses in my room and got a huge smile on my face when turned on the correction profile for the first time.
The sound in the room became much more harmonious after the calibration and some of the problem frequencies were significantly improved.
So overall I am a very happy customer. The product is completely worth the price.”
“Using with Apollo X4, and this allows me to really have a better feel for the mix. The process is easy to measure the speakers (takes a bit of time though) and each measurement microphone is coded so they are individually calibrated and accurate. Really cool stuff and it works.”
“Great software, works well in different setup, no bug or strange behaviours. Measurements are really easy and accurate. I've initially used a third microphone (quite old) but then I bought their microphone and it worked better, more precise measurements. sound has improved both in bass response and stereo images. a big bonus is that you can use the mic with third party apps such as REW EQ and you get the mic correction for that.”
“It's absolutely cool. I've tested it with my headphones first before I ordered the set with the microphone. And yes now my mixes sound similar on the speakers, on my headphones, on my iPad - ok, little less bass there ;) - and mostly important the room modes do no longer cover the higher frequencies ... which are now sometimes too clear ;)”
