Product details:

miniDSP UMIK-X-4 USB Multichannel microphone array

The UMIK-X consists of one to four UMA4 microphone modules and a USB-A2B interface to interface the modules to the computer.

Between four and 16 microphones can therefore be connected. UMA4 modules are daisy-chained to each other using a single twisted-pair cable carrying Analog Devices A2B protocol for multichannel audio at 24-bit/44.1 or 48 kHz.

A single cable for audio + power for up to 40m distance! Applications include environmental monitoring and distributed sound field measurement.

The distributed omnidirectional microphones in the array allow quick measurement and analysis in applications such as room equalization and distributed subwoofer tuning.

The UMIK-X is a UAC-2 compliant interface that comes with its own ASIO driver and is driverless for macOS and Linux.

For Windows, an ASIO driver is provided.

Last but not least, the UMIK-X is compatible with the new multi-channel measurement capability of Room EQ Wizard (v5.20 and up).

While this is normally a paid upgrade, a license for the upgrade is already included with your purchase.

The UMIK-X is now available for sale in 2 complete, ready to go packages to get up and running in no time

The basic package supports 16 channel recording (4 x UMA4 arrays).
