Using Audyssey 2EQ
Using Audyssey 2EQ to create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to 3 positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.
aFirst measurement position
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
bSecond measurement position The right side of the listening area.
cThird measurement position The left side of the listening area.
The distances from position a to b and a to c must be at least 1 meter.
