Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone

 

 

(DM-A405) successively at multiple positions throughout the

Playback

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 pages 24, 25.
