Using the calibration procedure

Calibrating the loudspeakers

As you run the calibration procedure the name of each loudspeaker is shown on the front panel display. The on-screen display also provides additional text explaining what to do, and sample displays are reproduced in the following sections for reference. For information about setting up the on-screen display see On-screen display, page 30.

Using a Sound Pressure Level meter

Although you can perform the calibration procedure by ear, it is recommended that you perform the tests using a Sound Pressure Level meter, available fairly cheaply from Tandy/Radio Shack, or your Meridian dealer may be able to lend you one.

Set the Sound Pressure Level meter to C weighted, and slow. Take readings from the listening position, holding the meter vertical at head height.

To start the calibration procedure

●Put the surround controller into standby by pressing the Off key.

●Press and hold the front panel Off key for at least five seconds.
