Well, aren't calibrating microphone designed for calibration, why would you use another microphone? Also, the calibrating microphone uses a 3.5mm mono plug, not XLR.

Well the AT2021 is a cardioid microphone so I don't know how that will work as a calibration mic.

You can try it, it's not like the mic will blow up.

Do you think there is any truth to this or is this warning only to deter consumers from buying calibrating microphones of a different brand?

I'm pretty sure the supplied microphone is designed for room calibration(look at the structure of the microphone). It's possible that the receiver jack is designed specifically for that microphone.

Just curious, what made you want to use another microphone instead of the supplied one?
