The microphones SHOULD be positioned:
✓ across a single row of listening positions
✓ at the approximate spots where the listeners’
heads will be during listening
✓ in a clear line-of-sight path with all loudspeakers
✓ in a location unobstructed by furniture and
other fixtures
✓ in a location where echoes will not obscure
calibration noise signals
✓ at least 2 feet (0.61m) from all loudspeakers
and walls
✓ within 30 feet (9.14m) of all loudspeakers
The listening room to the left shows proper microphone
placement for automatic calibration to achieve the best
results for several listening positions in a single row.
The microphones are positioned across a single row at
the approximate spots where the listeners’ heads will be
during listening. As a result, the MC-12 calibrates
optimal results for the selected row at the expense of a
single listening position.
