The microphones SHOULD be positioned:

✓in single listening positions within the listening room

✓at the approximate spots where the listeners’ heads will be during listening

✓in a clear line-of-sight path with all loudspeakers

✓in a location unobstructed by furniture and other fixtures

✓in a location where echoes will not obscure calibration noise signals

✓at least 2 feet (0.61m) from all loudspeakers and walls

✓within 30 feet (9.14m) of all loudspeakers

The listening room to the left shows proper microphone placement for automatic calibration to achieve the best results for several listening positions in the listening room. Each microphone is positioned in a single listening position at the approximate spot where the listener’s head will be during listening. As a result, the MC-12 calibrates optimal results for the selected listening area at the expense of a single listening position.
