POSITIONING THE MICROPHONES FOR AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION (continued)

PROPER microphone placement to achieve the best results for a single listening position

When calibrating for a single listening position, place the microphones:

3	As close together as possible in a single listening
	position (the primary listening position)
3	At the approximate spot where the listener’s
	head will be during listening
3	In a clear line-of-sight path with the speakers

3	In a location unobstructed by furniture and
	other fixtures, where echoes will not obscure
	calibration noise signals
3	At least 2 feet (0.61m) from all speakers and
	walls, but within 30 feet (9.14m) of all speakers.

The illustration to the right provides an example of proper microphone placement when calibrating for a single listening position. The microphones are positioned as close together as possible in a single listening position, allowing the MC-12 to calibrate optimal speaker distances and output levels for that position.
