Cheap REW calibration: UMIK-1 vs miniDSP EARS

If you are just getting into measurements: the UMIK-1 with its individual cal file is plenty for room and speaker work. EARS is fine for headphones but do not expect speaker-grade accuracy.

Download your mic's unique cal file from the miniDSP site — the generic one is not the same.

The "download your specific cal file" tip needs to be louder. So many bad measurements from people using the generic one.
