RV-8 Setup
3-45

When calibrating for multiple listening

positions in multiple rows, position the

microphones:

3At the approximate spot where the list ener’ s head
will be during listening
3In a clear line-of-sight path with the speakers
3In a location unobstructed by furniture and other
fixtures, where echoes will not obscure calibration
noise signals
3At 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 multiple rows. Each micro-
phone is positioned in a single listening position within a
row, allowing the RV-8 to calibrate optimal speaker
distances and output levels for a larger listening area at
the expense of a single listening position.
