Advanced Calibration Tip

Once the software finishes calculating the optimal correction filters for the target curve you have selected, you will be presented with the Save Results screen shown above.

If you would like to audition the new correction without overwriting anything that may already exist in the EQ setup memory you have selected (e.g., EQ 1), click the Transfer to SC-1button. After a short delay to download the needed information to the SC-1, you will be able to listen to whatever content you like (music, movies, etc.). You can also turn MultEQ® room correction on and off using the buttons on this screen to hear the difference room correction is making in your system.

If you like what you hear, click on the Save Permanently to SC-1button to transfer the same filter to a non-volatile section of memory in the SC-1 that will survive power outages and the like. Writing to this memory takes a little longer, but once it is done you can access this setting at any time from the front panel of the SC-1, or by way of RS-232 and your favorite home automation system.

You can also view the before-and-after results in your default browser by click- ing on the View Results... button. This page can also be printed out for sub- sequent review and comparison with other setup memories you may elect to calibrate.

The View Results... button can be an invaluable tool for diagnosing unusual room and/or equipment problems. Get in the habit of doing your first three position measurements at the primary listening position and two other posi- tions nearby (e.g., the two next-most popular chairs). Then advance to the Save Results page and look at your Before curves in View Results.... (Note that the vertical scale in View Results... is 5 dB per division.)

The overall, average level of the area below about 250 Hz and the area above 1000 Hz should be just about the same. If not, disconnect the microphone, close MultEQ Pro and adjust the HF Trim on the last screen of Wisdom Sys- Config for any speakers that seem out of adjustment. Some rooms absorb bass terribly, especially ones that have hung ceilings. Others may reinforce the bass while absorbing the mids and highs (especially those that have been treated with excessive absorption). Being able to adjust the midbass and bass relative to
