Many customers face two questions: Is the UMIK-1 enough or do I need the UMIK-2—and is buying worth it for a single room setup? That is why we offer both models for purchase and weekly rental:
- When to rent (Art. M6530 / M6532): If you only tune your home theater or studio once with REW or Dirac Live, renting for a week saves over 75% compared to buying.
- UMIK-1 (Art. 6530 / M6530) vs. UMIK-2 (Art. 6532 / M6532): The UMIK-1 uses a 1/4-inch capsule at 48 kHz. The UMIK-2 upgrades to a 1/2-inch capsule (lower self-noise) and an internal crystal clock up to 192 kHz for repeatable timing and phase measurements.
