POSITIONING THE MICROPHONES FOR AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION (continued)
During the automatic calibration, do not:
7 Arrange the microphones along the perimeter of
the listening positions or space
7 Position the microphones in spots where the
listeners’ heads will not be during listening
7 Obstruct the line-of-sight path between the
microphones and the speakers
7 Position the microphones on the floor, on seat
cushions, or in locations obstructed by furniture
and other fixtures, where echoes might obscure
calibration noise signals
7 Position the microphones within 2 feet (0.61m) of
speakers and walls or more than 30 feet (9.14m)
from any one speaker
The illustration to the right provides an example of
improper microphone placement during the microphone
check. The microphones are positioned on the floor
along the perimeter of the listening space, making it
difficult for the RV-8 to calibrate optimal speaker
distances and output levels for the actual listening
positions.
