Hello DIY folks.
As we all know, acoustic measurements can be extremely beneficial in designing loudspeakers. As far as budget hardware is concerned, the miniDSP Umik-1 is a very popular solution.
The Umik-1 comes with SPL & frequency calibration. However, it doesn't fulfill any standards, and since there is also no public review in which its performance / accuracy has ever been tested, it basically has been up to guesswork if this piece of hardware provides reliable data.
To try to bring some light into the darkness, here's my comparison vs. reference (IEC 61672 Class 1) measurement hardware:
