Using a different Microphone for MCACC

[Tomasito]

I am unsure if this is the correct forum to post this question.

Has anybody tried using a high end microphone to calibrate the Pioneer MCACC ?

[ohskigod]

I havent, but I dont think a high end mic is needed. the mic should only be measuring sound level, not the sound to a detailed degree, just the spl right? unless I am missing something

I plan to use an omnidirectional microphone.

I thought the MCACC microphone was already omni-directional? At either case I wouldn't brother changing out mic., doing so may mess with the operation of the EQ in the setup of.

[Tomasito]

yes, it has a factory omni-directional mic with it.
I just want to fun experimenting and observing the results.
I do expect it will have a different eq result

Actually you can. the Mcacc is calibrated to the given mic. I suggest writing down you spec's or keep around the factory mic. I don't see any reason to use another Mic.

None.

Mantis, you are right this what they were telling me. I just intend to experiment.

I found an audio technica onidirectional condenser boundary mic.
I just place an on line purchase for this mic, I should have it next week.
I will run my experiment the weekend I receive the mic.
