This is a great value and very useful microphone. You can download a device-specific calibration file from Dayton based on your serial number. I bought this to use with a real time analysis program on my laptop that has a TRRS connector instead of separate headphone and microphone jacks, which is more common these days. With the headphone out jack you can send test tones through the auxiliary input of your system. I used it in my car for audio system calibration. I used True RTA software but you can also get REW.
I also purchased a mic/headphone Y splitter cable (StarTech MUYHSMFF 3.5mm 4-Pin to 2x 3-Pin 3.5mm Headset Splitter) to loopback for system calibration, and a long 3.5 mm auxiliary cable for plugging in to my system (StarTech MU6MMS Slim 3.5mm Stereo Audio Cable – M/M, 6 Feet STARTECH.COM ) and an extension for flexible microphone placement (StarTech MUHSMF2M 2m 4 Position TRRS Headset Extension Cable ) All for less than 40 bucks and you have a high quality RTA system. Worked great in my car and picked up the factory crossover points in my speakers. Microphone works in my Windows Phone as well, but there aren’t many useful RTA programs like Audio Tools for WP. Too bad, it would be a great tool. Loading the calibration file into the iPhone is a joke.

I used to compulsively carry a Zoom around with me to capture found sounds for my electronica. The thing was never that heavy, but my spouse and friends would tease me. In addition I’d always get more attention than I liked when I used the Zoom in a populated area. I stopped carrying the Zoom around with me and eventually sold it. I regret the many tasty sounds I’ve missed recording.
Like a lot of geeks, I carry an Android phone with me (Galaxy S4) and no one teases me for it. This microphone fits in my pocket and I can carry it everywhere. I use it with an app called RecForge II that lets me tune my gain as well as disable Androids dynamic gain.
I did some recording with the iMM-6 of some sounds: egret squawks along the slew, Starbuck’s coffee shop, street noise, my dog vocalizing and a small water pump. I compared them with similar sounds that I captured years ago with the Zoom. It compared well. The noise floor was not as low with the Android. I was pretty happy with the range of frequencies I captured. For example, the steam from the expresso machine sound real and the egret croak was great. The thump of tires over a bridge was pretty cool. Since the microphone is paired with a calibration file on the Dayton Audio website, it made setting a default eq quite easy.

I’ve done multiple tests and measurements with this calibration microphone, and compared to other calibration microphones it isn’t particularly accurate in the treble – and of course, I’ve used the calibration file for the microphone. It’ll help get anything you’re measuring closer to your desired frequency response within a margin of error of 3dB. It was pretty accurate until the 4k-8k region where the calibration file either was worsening the recorded output or wasn’t accounting enough for its inaccuracies. But it is still mostly accurate.
