The position of the calibration micro-
phone for Situation 1 (e.g. for the driver
alone) is at the height of the driver’s
head, approx. 10 cm next to the right
ear.
For Situation 2, the calibration micro-
phone should be positioned at head
height between the driver and the front
passenger.
For Situation 3, you should position the
calibration microphone at head height
in the centre of the vehicle interior (left/
right, front/rear).
Really quiet surroundings are required
for the calibration. Any extraneous noise
will distort the measured values.
The windows, doors and sunroof must
remain closed during the calibration
process. You should be seated in the
driving seat throughout this procedure.
Note:
You can obtain the calibration micro-
phone necessary for this from acces-
sory retailers.
During calibration, the temperature in-
side the vehicle must not exceed 55 °C
since this could lead to falsified meas-
urements.
The sound radiating from the loud-
speakers must not be obstructed by any
objects. All the loudspeakers must be
connected. The microphone must be
connected to the device.
