Can you use any mic as an RTA mic?
Getting an accurate RTA reading requires an omnidirectional microphone with an extended flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. There are a number of manufacturers offering mics especially designed for RTA use. It is not recommended to use a microphone meant for live sound or other general, non-RTA use.

Can I use any mic with Sonarworks?
You can use any omnidirectional condenser measurement microphone. Please note that we will not be able to consult the calibration outcome if you are not using an individually calibrated microphone.
Are all calibration mics the same?
They are all the same, and have been for the past 10 years or so. Any of the “Eiffel tower” shaped Audyssey mics (regardless of whether they are branded Denon, Marantz or Onkyo) will be the same. The original Audyssey AVR’s (back in 2006-2007) used different proprietary mics, usually puck-shaped.
