I was thinking about getting a mic from minidsp but it seems like this is quite invovled (while not a computer wizard I am generally a prosumer wiling/capable of doing basic level tweeking/computer stuff)
I watched this video and I was like you need a lot more than just a calibrated mic:

I expected it to be just slightly more sophisticated than the Sonos One / Denon AVR Audessey type of room detection stuff.
This is too much work.
Measuring at 90* upwards is actually the recommended way to measure 👍🏻
Not by MiniDSP, though. They say point it to speakers if you have 2-channel system and upwards if you work with more channels. Their product photography also features the stupid wind screen on the mic, so that could use some work…
