Calibrating Your Smaart Microphone

Updated on Jan 27, 2022

You will need to request a calibrator from the Tech Team to be able to calibrate your Smaart Microphone. You can put in a ticket by sending an email to [email protected] or going to tech.life.church to submit a ticket for the request!

WHEN YOUR CALIBRATOR ARRIVES

When your calibrator arrives you should have received the ISEMcon SC-1 Calibrator and two different sized adapters to be able to sit the calibrator onto the Smaart Microphone.

Unless you are NOC or ALB you will need to use the bigger of the two adapters.

SETTING UP YOUR SMAART MICROPHONE FOR CALIBRATION

You must stop logging before you calibrate your Smaart Microphone. It won't work if this is left on.

1. Locate THE ISEMcon SC-1 Microphone Calibrator.

3. Navigate to the microphone INPUT. In the example shown below INPUT 49 from Dante Virtual Soundcard is the microphone input. (1)Click on the input, then (2)click "Calibrate".

4. Head over to the mic and point it straight up towards the ceiling. Look at the calibrator and verify that the bigger mic guard is inserted into the calibrator. Slide the Calibrator over the microphone until the calibrator is resting on the mic. The calibrator should be able to balance on the mic nicely.

5. Turn the calibrator on and verify that 94dB is selected on the back panel.
