Looking for a calibrated budget microphone for room measurement

[DTNT]

Hi everyone,

I am just getting into room measurement, so first of all, I would like to not overexpend since this is just for personal use for now, and I don't know if this is something I will continue doing.

I am looking for a calibrated budget microphone to use mostly with REW. My options for now are ARC MEMS and Sonarworks microphones, so I am curious which of those two is better?

Also, if you have some other recommendations in this price range, feel free to recommend.

Thank you for the suggestion. I am aware of it, however it is not calibrated. Sonarworks is basically just an ECM800 they calibrate in house, as far as I understood.

I have a UMIK-1, that would be obvious choice unless you already have a USB interface and are set on using it.

UMIK-1

The UMIK-1 is an omni-directional USB measurement calibrated microphone providing Plug & Play acoustic measurement. From speaker & room acoustic measurement to recording, this microphone provides low noise and accurate results you can rely on.

Then you can follow Julian's guide for setting it up, measuring and generating corrections with REW and applying them in EAPO...
