If you are using Sonarworks to correct errors in your room then I'm not convinced the results will be better enough to justify purchasing a better microphone. the offset file just wasn't ever made in their lab. it's not just a secret file they're not showing you unless you pay. if you don't agree with something, or know something about your mic you can easily go make your own text file to offset data in whatever app is using it.Д¬alibration files are always per mic (which is why mics that give you a choice between calibrated and non-calibrated will cost a few bucks different - someone had to bust it out of the box and bring it to their test setup). quite literally just a text table of values that show the offset between your actual microphone, and their golden standard reference for how one should respond under their test conditions. waves up there are ~an inch long, and effected more heavily by temperature and humidity.ДЇor anyone unaware, this is what a calibration file looks like. i'll look at what the data is saying, but will always knock that last octave in by ear. that is a region that i don't trust measurement mics to do the work for me anyway. Without a whole can of worms being opened, calibration files are normally doing the bulk of their corrections in the upper register, say above 8k.
