•The SMPTE 202M curve is also known as the “X-curve” and is an international standard for the high frequency roll-off applied in a typical 500-seat movie theater. It is appropriate for professional mixing spaces and dubbing stages that must be calibrated for film sound postproduction. It can also be used in extremely large play- back spaces (room volume greater than 5000 cu. ft.)

With the three setup memories available in the SC-1, it is possible to take advan- tage of multiple target curves.

For example, it is a relatively simply matter to use EQ 1 for movies, in which a Flat target curves and THX processing in the surround processor is most appro- priate; EQ 2 could be used for music listening, where the Standard HF Rolloff is usually the more desirable target; and EQ 3 might include the Gaming curve for your XBox or Playstation 3 exploits, or simply when you would like a little more perceived “weight” in your music. Accessing these settings can even be fully automated by means of a home automation controller (Crestron, AMX, Control4, etc.) via the RS-232 port on the rear panel of the SC-1.

Having selected your target curve, it is now time to let MultEQ® Pro do the cal- culations needed to fully optimize the system in the room. Before you do any- thing else, however, it is essential to disconnect the measurement microphone and reconnect the normal Left channel input. A warning dialog will pop up on the PC screen to remind you of this fact.

You must remove the Calibrated Microphone Preamplifier’s XLR connection from the SC-1’s Left input before continuing. Not doing this will cause microphone feedback to be played on the system at levels that could damage the speakers.
