Hey Hey! DJ turned sound guy here. Lots of good answers in this thread already but here's a list of options, especially if you're moving into more "high profile" stuff.

  1. Speaker placement is your first line of defense here. Different for each room. Always put them on stands above head height. If you start moving into higher head counts look into getting some smaller speakers (Samson expedition series, RCF, alto) to place around the room so you don't need to pump your main speakers so hot. Remember, no one needs to sound like they're on a mic, they just need to be clearly heard by everyone in the room.

    2)On the mic end: This is going to seem a little counterintuitive. Keep your mic volume LOW. 98% of people don't know how to use a microphone. You don't want to have to explain to every groomsmen that holding the mic straight up against your stomach and speaking like your at a funeral isn't going to work. Figure out a decent volume off the bat that sounds good when the mic is ~4 inches away from the mouth. Don't rush to fix it if someone is holding it far away. They will (usually) pick up on the fact they are not loud enough and move it closer to their mouth. Obviously mix as needed but don't over accommodate for the guy using the mic as a prop.

  2. If your console has an eq (if it doesn't, buy a graphic eq) ring out the room before hand. Download an RTA (Real Time Analyzer) on your phone (bunch of free ones out there, if you want to get fancy buy one of these https://www.amazon.com/Dayton-Audio-iMM-6-Calibrated-Measurement/dp/B00ADR2B84). Place the mic about where you think it's going to be. Pump up the gain until you hit feedback. Let it ring for a second so you can find the offending frequency on the RTA. Make a cut on the mic's EQ (don't do you mains, you're a DJ. Your music has no relation to the feedback unless you're underscoring speeches or the mic is on the entire time. That being said if you're using monitors for the speakers then you can EQ those as well, as they won't be playing music I'm assuming). Wash rinse repeat 3-4 times . This cuts out the frequencies that naturally resonate in the room. It won't kill the feedback but you can theoretically push the volume higher without having to worry as much.

  3. Buy a feedback killer. You're a DJ. It doesn't mean you're not a great sound guy. It just means that your job is to put on a great event for the people that hired you. Technical stuff is the last thing you want to be worrying about. They come in the form of tabletop boxes or racks. DBX makes some awesome ones. They all work differently but essentially do what I described earlier automatically. Might work better, might work worse than doing it manually. Either way, as a DJ I'd give them a try.

  4. If you don't know what mic pickup patters are, educate yourself. Im assuming you're using cardioids. Thats good. If by some stroke of lucifer you've inadvertently been using a subcardioid or you're using a hyper-super in front of a monitor, it might be something to look at.

    My advice would be this. Read through everything. If there's anything you can do without spending money, do that first. Look at the cost of everything else. Do the cheapest things in order after that until you're happy. This is all assuming you're using a mixing console. If you don't have one, get one. Mackie pro-fx is a great place to start, very affordable, all the features needed for DJ/AV. Stay away from low end behringer (xenyx preamps are GARBAGE on any level). Yamaha MG's are also a good starting place. They have built in compressors (last time I checked) which are nice for these sorts of applications. If you're looking at adding smaller speakers around the room, Alto has a great line of wireless transmitters for a cleaner setup and ease of use.

    I hope this helps! Good luck in the spring wedding season man!

I use AudioTool for Android.

Sometimes I'll use this mic with it but I'm usually just using it for identifying feedback frequencies, so I don't even bother with the external mic.

u/archivedsofa · 2 pointsr/WeAreTheMusicMakers

In any case, you could spend $20 and buy this calibrated mic that you can use with a computer with a TRRS input (all Macs have it). Then use this free software for measuring your room once you have the monitors.

In the manufacturer's website you can get the mic profile from the mic serial number and use that to get more precise measurements.

u/Pocketweezer · 2 pointsr/PS4

I use this with a good set of headphones http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ADR2B84?pc_redir=1411095621&robot_redir=1

u/cinepro · 2 pointsr/hometheater

Glad to hear things are getting better.

If you want to be a little more exact, you could get one of these microphones for your smart phone or tablet:

https://www.amazon.com/Dayton-Audio-iMM-6-Calibrated-Measurement/dp/B00ADR2B84

Then download a free SPL app and use it to calibrate all your speakers to the same level at the main listening position.

You could even try the SPL app with your phone's built-in microphone. That might get you pretty close depending on how good the microphone is.

u/xrm550 · 2 pointsr/xboxone

Awkward but this works for using a Bluetooth headset with a Xbox One controller with the 3.5mm output or using a Xbox One Chat adapter.

You can use a rechargeable bluetooth 3.5 mm adapter paired with a 4 pole mic audio out adapter, but your mic would be on the adapter so fine tuning would be a must.

u/MyNameIsRay · 2 pointsr/CarAV

You can use something like AudioTool and Dayton's imm-6.

Not ideal, since the phone's mic circuit is still involved, but it's certainly a whole lot better than the built in mic. A USB calibrated one is a better option, but they're a lot more expensive and not always compatible with phones.

u/thirteenthirty7 · 2 pointsr/livesound

Does anyone know anything about this lil cellphone measurement mic?

this is the exact same. When you get it, there are instructions to go to the manu website to put in the serial number to get the calibration file for that specific mic.

u/mikegriffin84 · 1 pointr/CarAV

I did numbers

1

2

3 "not with a DSP but the best I can in my current situation" BUT I was considering cutting off the rears so if I wire my tweeters to channels 1&2 and my drivers to 3&4 I can then time align each driver individually. I think that would get me as close as possible to the best I can get without a DSP. My amp can crossover the 1&2 channel at around 10000 hz so that may be good enough for the tweeters "Although I think I would keep the passive crossovers because that would protect the speakers and only send the frequencies they can handle, my focal crossovers can be bi-amped so I don't think this will be a problem" What do you think about that? I lose the rears that way but really my car is so small and my speakers so powerful I don't know that I would miss much. When I fade the system to the front and crank the fronts I can't even tell the rears aren't playing other than the sound stage gets a few percent clearer ;)
5 I can do with my crappy Dayton mic: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ADR2B84/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but that will be better than nothing for now. It does come with a calibration file so that is something. I am going to be getting a better mic. Which of the two above do your recommend? Or can you give me an alternative that is the same roughly $100 price point?

6 I will do

7 I am learning what shape fits my preference.

This is my build which I posted on Facebook a few days ago, before I add subwoofer, so far less than $500, I'm still building it ..

Tonight's window-shopping shopping cart for my first audio upgrade from 2016 WRX base OEM audio. Includes amp, speakers, and noise suppression. This seems like a really good starter build for less than $500. Looking for feedback.

I've got a TASCAM DR-05 Portable Digital Recorder that works really well for recording environment sounds.

u/tcookc · 1 pointr/audioengineering

I would caution against a dynamic mic like the SM48 for voice-over. For your situation I would recommend:

  1. get a simple external mic for your phone on Amazon like this one. Try it, compare with the phone mic, if it's not better than the built in phone mic, send it back. If it sounds better, use that until you...

  2. save up for your UMC22 + a used AT4033a from reverb.com. It's a great voice-over mic and will serve you well until you're in the market for $1k+ mic. Plus the AT4033a will remain a great choice in the future with a better interface, or a nice preamp/compressor/EQ if you ever get to that point (while a USB mic will never be compatible with other hardware upgrades).
u/onearmedtwit · 1 pointr/Nexus5

I'm not too familiar with what's able to be used with a Nexus 5, but I did buy this a few months ago, and it's working wonderfully. The serial number can be entered into the company's website to get that particular mic's calibration.

u/Doctor_M_Toboggan · 1 pointr/CarAV

Interesting. I might try out this one Dayton Audio iMM-6 with my laptop and Room Wizard. In one of the reviews the guy compared it to his miniDSP mic, and the readings were +/- 1db.

u/SpezLovesTrump · 1 pointr/Axon7

7.0 didn't help for me. I ordered one of these in the past. Dayton Audio iMM-6 Calibrated Measurement Microphone for iPhone, iPad Tablet and Android https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ADR2B84/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XoBSyb3WARXM9 it was awesome til my dog chewed it up. I don't know if it would help the mic issue. I've tried with Dolby enabled and not. When the mic finally decides to stop the muffled parts, the sound is fantastic. I just have to play guitar parts like 5 times to get that good recording.

u/zapfastnet · 1 pointr/livesound

to go along with the aps suggested by others ITT, I have this Dayton Audio iMM-6 Calibrated Measurement Microphone for iPhone, iPad Tablet and Android on my amazon wish list to buy in the near future for this sort of use.

( yo $20)

Does anybody have anything good or bad to say about this mic?

u/KingKasey · 1 pointr/livesound

You may consider buying this also to use with you app. It's a calibrated mic for your phone / tablet. It's is alot more accurate and pretty affordable .

Also check out this mic to use with AudioTools. Works surprisingly well.

You could use this mic: https://smile.amazon.com/Dayton-Audio-iMM-6-Calibrated-Measurement/dp/B00ADR2B84/

It'll give you a much higher quality recording too.

It can also be really cheap
