measurement microphones

Is it viable to use a measurement microphone without an audio interface, like using an XLR to USB adapter, for example? Asides from buying the mic itself, buying an audio interface just to perform a measurement that'll be done once is kind of overkill imo. Thanks.

Hi everyone, Been a long time lurker on this forum and found the advice not only helpful, detailed and accurate, but also considerate. Hoping for some of that here! If I make any obvious errors, for instance if I'm asking this in the wrong sub-forum, please let me know. I'm starting to treat...

Hi! Are budget audio interfaces (like umc22 or 204hd or <$70) suitable for measurement microphones and room correction processes? Budget udio interface + calibrated good mic or just umik1? Btw I don't have any dac, exept cx31993 at the moment.
