•Audyssey MultEQ® automatically measures the acoustical problems in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for your home theater.

•Audyssey MultEQ® optimizes a large listening area where one or more listeners are seated.

Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone (DM-A405) successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as shown in Example q. For best results, it is strongly recommended to measure 6 positions so that the measurements have the proper spatial weighting.

Even if the listening environment is small as shown in Example w, measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)

The main listening position refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment.

MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

To make manual adjustments to the settings, see page 23, 24.

Setup microphone

b It is not recommended to hold it in your hand. Be sure that the path from microphone to the speakers is not blocked by objects. Avoid placing the microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound reflections may give inaccurate results.
