Acquired used on a tip from Ian Mackenzie for $400: board, cables, software, mic, manual.
I need to purchase a computer for dedicated use in the "laboratory." I was thinking a laptop, but that's not a good option, apparently. The requirements seem modest; looks like any of today's cheapest desktops will do, another $500, maybe, else dedicate this old clunker to science in there....
You seem to be missing a very important part... the signal conditioner. It is an outboard device that connects to the board that you mount inside your computer.

Not shown or mentioned in this manual.
Off to the Audiomatica website:

An earlier 16-Bit (versus 18-Bit) version, apparently:

Inquiry underway....
I suggest you send them the photo of your gear and confirm you have a complete system that will run their current software...
It may be that you simply have a very old version. It may be fine.

Ask them what card you got too. PCI or ISA.
It's ISA. Newer one is PCI.
It'll run up to Version 6.5 software under Win98.
I think that means it'll have to go with the present computer.
PCI version will run newer Version 7 software under Win98 or XP.
Did you get a calibration file for your mic? Does that vintage software support a calibration file?

You will need to find an older PC as the new ones do not have ISA slots.Originally Posted by Zilch
most PII's and some PIII's mainboards have them.
If you want. I have a P111 650 with a gig of ram that you can have. I have almost all the parts you need to build a complete system. Would be happy to let you have them free.You will need to find an older PC as the new ones do not have ISA slots.

Thanks for clarifying that. I guess I need to spell E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G O-U-T.You will need to find an older PC as the new ones do not have ISA slots.

Thank you, guys. This old Compaq has several ISA slots, and should run the "Depliant" HR2000 card.
However, Audiomatica informs me:
Cost unknown, but I have inquired as to how to accomplish it....Actually Audiomatica is promoting a very good offer to the CLIO Isa customers, a "trade" Isa to PCI, and this is the only available upgrade; the new CLIOwin 7 works starting from CLIO PCI.
I duly note that "trade" is in quotes....
The mic came with a preprinted calibration chart, but no separate "file" that I find.
There is a calibration procedure in the manual, however....
The newer software accepts a data file and corrects for the mic. With the calibration file I have, my setup is calibrated to +/- 0.5dB... the the calibration equipment was rated at +/- 0.25dB and my Clio hardware is +/- 0.25dB.
Good enough for me.

I forget if you have Mic-01 or Mic-02.
01, it says, is for anechoic, and 02 for reverberant. Only difference is the length, apparently. Any insight or opinion?

$110 for the "Lite" mic.
YIKES!

Hello Zilch
You said it!!! I got the Lite version with the Lite 002 Microphone. I have not installed it yet. Let you know when I power it up for a spin. Your calibration file may be on the floppy so do a contents search and see if it's there. Back it up to CD or your harddrive as soon as you can. I have bad luck with those damn things self destructing.

Cool, Rob! That's three of us.
Post a pic of what you get with Lite, please.
Forum members with CLIO please step forward and share here.
