• Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone |
successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening |
area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we recommend |
you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the illustration |
(up to eight positions). |
1 | Prepare the setup microphone |
|
Mount the setup microphone on a tripod or stand and place it in the main listening position.
When placing the setup microphone, adjust the height of the sound receptor to the level of the listener’s ear.
3 | Set up the remote control unit |
nSet up the zone mode
Press ZONE SELECT to switch the zone mode to M (MAIN ZONE).
The M indicator lights.
• Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH, |
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment |
results in more effective correction. |

The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening environment. Before starting Audyssey Auto Setup, place the setup microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ® XT 32 uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
About multiple subwoofer calibrationAudyssey multiple subwoofer calibration optimizes the level, delay, and frequency response blending of two subwoofers.
z To run Audyssey multiple subwoofer calibration you must select “Measure (2 spkrs)” in “Set up “Channel Select”” (vpage 64).
•Do not hold the setup microphone in your hand during measurements.
•Avoid placing the setup microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound reflections may give inaccurate results.
