US$800 is ambitious for this miniDSP UMIK-1 versus the recent used market: it sits above the US$940 75th percentile? Wait, no — against your comps, the 75th percentile is US$940, so US$800 is actually below that but still clearly above the median US$466 and well above the US$123 25th percentile. That makes it a high-side listing, not a bargain.
What keeps it interesting is that the UMIK-1 is a genuinely useful tool for anyone serious about room correction: it’s a plug-and-play USB measurement mic that’s well-regarded for making REW and DSP setup straightforward, and it tends to earn its keep fast if you’re tuning subs or dialing in speaker placement. At this price, I’d want clear confirmation of condition, the original calibration file/accessories, and no history of connector or cable issues before paying up.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
