They are unimportant.

Do you think a calibrated measurement microphone is an important factor for home room correction? docjordan from https://www.akulap.de/ thinks that you can use the cheapest one without calibration, like the Behringer ECM8000

Do you think a calibrated measurement microphone is an important factor for home room correction?

Absolutely. The only case when it's not, is when you want to keep the character of your speakers and only EQ the differences between them. In that case, the Complex version of QuickEQ will only allow you to use the Smoother curve that does just that.

Absolutely.

But numerous experiments have shown that the uneven frequency response of uncalibrated microphones starts at approximately 5 kHz, that is, the midrange and low frequency ranges have no problems

This can easily be proven false by looking at what calibration files contain. It's very common to have completely uneven frequency responses, just look at how much correction a UMIK-1, iMM-6, or especially an XTZ mic needs.

Do you have any recommendations on which calibrated microphone is best? USB or XLR?

There is no such thing as best, just good enough. Over that level, it barely matters, and the UMIK-1 is over it.

Complete phase correction (like Dirac) is coming

Hi, is this function now ready to use? I am not trying to rush you in any way. I discovered your awesome software through a reddit thread. Thanks for creating such a great tool.

No. It will be based on a paper published by a friend of mine, but it still isn't reviewed.

How about a mac version?

I can't afford to work with the Apple developer ecosystem. That's thousands of dollars a year.
