2Start the MCACC application on your computer. Follow the instructions provided with the application. It will take about ten seconds for the transmission to complete, then you will be able to analyze the output on your computer. Since the data will be cleared from the receiver when you restart reverb measurement or turn off the receiver, you might want to save the information on your PC after measurement.

3When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You’ll be taken to the Advanced EQ Setup. Depending on the results, you may want to continue with the Advanced EQ setup (see Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ on page 39 for more on this). You can also simply press RETURN again to exit the Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ setup.

Note

1Make sure that you do this before continuing to the Reverb Measurement option in Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ on page 39 (measurement data is cleared if you switch off the power).
