POSITIONING THE MICROPHONES FOR AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION (continued)

PROPER microphone placement to achieve the best results for multiple listening positions in a single row

When calibrating for multiple listening positions in a single row, position the microphones:

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

Rear

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 multiple listening positions in a single row. Each micro- phone is positioned in a single listening position within a single row, allowing the RV-8 to calibrate optimal speaker distances and output levels for that row at the expense of a single listening position.
