Looking to run a true 5HZ signal to my Sub woofers but think my anthem receiver will Bottle neck this.

I've never owned one but with a specific focus on infrasonic frequency response down to 5Hz, I suspect the UMIK-1 is iffy. "Frequency response: 20 Hz - 20kHz +/-1dB with calibration loaded "

You might consider omnidirectional calibration mics from companies like Earthworks, B&K, and DPA. [Much pricier though]. Not that I'm well read on them but they are some of the big names in the field that come to mind.

UPDATE: Keep in mind that just because some people post graphs showing readings for low, single digit bass on some mics like the UMIK-1, this doesn't prove they are necessarily accurate values.

Appreciate the insights. I'm going to kick things off with the UMIK-1 mic once everything is live, check out the results, and see how things progress from there

Considering I am a moderator on this forum, I welcome your so called simple questions so we can send you packing. No patience for stupid here. Go ask this on avs and see if you get more love. Good bye.

Perhaps you shouldn't be a moderator with responses such as this. A reader asks a question and some asshat goes off on him for being "stupid"? See yourself out thanks.

They won't be, they will be pure fiction.
