System Setup
Step 8. When the Far Field measurements are completed, the system will ask you to take Near Field measurements, one at each five speaker position. These measurements enable EzSet/EQ to produce the most accurate settings for both high and low frequency equalization. The Near Field measurements are similar to the Far Field tests, except that the system will “listen” to only one speaker at a time, rather than sending the test signals to all speakers in rotation.
Step 11. If the test results were successful, the next Near Field Measurement screen will appear. In order to properly calibrate the system, you will need to run the Near Field tests for all five chan- nel speakers. Repeat Steps 8 through 11 until all speakers have been calibrated. When that is done the Near Field process is complete. With the cursor highlighting NEXT press the ENTER Button 6 to continue with the Subwoofer Far Field measurements.
The next and final step is to have EzSet/EQ run the Subwoofer measurements. Make sure the cursor is highlighting NEXT, and press ENTER Button 6 to start the Far Field Measurement for the Subwoofer. Note that the measurement microphone will need to be again at the preferred listening position, at ear level, as with previous Far Field measurements.

Step 9. During the Near Field testing, (Figure 6f), you will see an instruction to place the microphone in a different position than the one used for the initial Far Field measurements. This time, place the microphone close to the speaker to be measured, at a distance of about 1 meter. In addition, the top of the microphone should be pointed towards the speaker, rather than point- ing up as was done for the Far Field tests. For the first measurement, place the microphone so that it is close to, and pointing towards, the front left speaker, and press the ENTER Button 6.
Step 10. One short test signal will be sent to the speaker position being calibrated and after a slight pause from the system to calculate the test results, you will see either the next Near Field Measurement screen, or a "Testing Error" screen. In most cases, the “next Near Field Measurement” message will appear, in which case you should proceed to Step 11, if an “Error” message appears, go to Step 12.
Figure 6g
Step 12. If a “Near Field Error” message appears, as shown in Figure 6h, you should check to make certain that the microphone is about one meter from the speaker being tested and that the top of the microphone unit is pointing towards the speaker. You may also have to raise or lower the master volume to achieve accurate readings. After checking these two items, as needed, make certain that the cursor is pointing to the RETEST line and press the ENTER Button 6. This will return you to the NEAR FIELD EQ SELECT menu (Figure 6h) where you should repeat Steps 8 through 11, adjusting the microphone placement and volume level as needed until all Near Field Measurements are done.

When both the Far Field and Near Field measure- ments have been successfully completed your system is ready for use. Move the cursor to SAVE and press the ENTER Button 6. This will save your EzSet/EQ settings, and will show the results of the measurements, similar to the screen shown in Figure 6i.

Thanks to EzSet/EQ, the settings for speaker “size”, speaker crossover, channel output and individual channel delay time have been auto- matically set and require no further adjustment. In addition, EzSet/EQ has also performed a com- plete room equalization that tailors the system’s performance for the best possible sound with your combination of speakers, speaker placement and room acoustics.
