About setup microphone placement

• Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone

successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening

area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we recommend

you measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six

positions).

1 Set up the microphone

Mount the setup microphone on a tripod or stand and place it in the main listening position.

When placing the setup microphone, adjust the height of the sound receptor to the level of the listener’s ear.

3 Set up the remote control unit

nn Set up the operation mode

Press AMP to set the remote control unit to amplifier operation mode.

Simple version

• Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH,

measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment

results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)

The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening environment. Before starting Audyssey Auto Setup, place the setup microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ® uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

•Do not hold the setup microphone in your hand during measurements.

•Avoid placing the setup microphone close to a seat back or wall as

sound reflections	may give inaccurate results.
2	Set up the subwoofer

If using a subwoofer capable of the following adjustments, set up the subwoofer as shown below.

nn When using a subwoofer with a direct mode

Set the direct mode to “On” and disable the volume adjustment and crossover frequency setting.

nn When using a subwoofer without a direct mode

Make the following settings:

•Volume : “12 o’clock position”

•Crossover frequency : “Maximum/Highest Frequency”

•Low pass filter : “Off”

•Standby mode : “Off”
