2Start the MCACC application on your computer. Follow the instructions provided with the application. It will take about ten seconds for the transmission to complete, then you will be able to analyze the output on your computer. Since the data will be cleared from the amplifier when you restart reverb measurement or turn off the amplifier, you might want to save the information on your PC after measurement.

3When you’re finished, select ‘Return’ on the on- screen display.

You’ll be taken to the Advanced EQ Setup. Depending on the results, you may want to continue with the Advanced EQ setup (see Setting Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ according to your room characteristics on page 57 for more on this). You can also simply press Return again to exit the Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ setup.
