boost in the bottom octave before you get too carried away with
this setting.
• The SMPTE 202M curve is also known as the “X-curve” and is an
international standard for the high frequency roll-off applied in a
typical 500-seat movie theater. It is appropriate for professional
mixing spaces and dubbing stages that must be calibrated for film
sound postproduction. It can also be used in extremely large play-
back spaces (room volume greater than 5000 cu. ft.)
With the three setup memories available in the SC-1, it is possible to take advan-
tage of multiple target curves.
For example, it is a relatively simply matter to use EQ 1 for movies, in which a
Flat target curves and THX processing in the surround processor is most appro-
priate; EQ 2 could be used for music listening, where the Standard HF Rolloff is
usually the more desirable target; and EQ 3 might include the Gaming curve for
your XBox or Playstation 3 exploits, or simply when you would like a little more
perceived “weight” in your music. Accessing these settings can even be fully
automated by means of a home automation controller (Crestron, AMX, Control4,
etc.) via the RS-232 port on the rear panel of the SC-1.
Disconnect the microphone Having selected your target curve, it is now time to let MultEQ ® Pro do the cal-
culations needed to fully optimize the system in the room. Before you do any-
thing else, however, it is essential to disconnect the measurement microphone
and reconnect the normal Left channel input. A warning dialog will pop up on
the PC screen to remind you of this fact.
Warning! You must remove the Calibrated Microphone Preamplifier’s XLR
connection from the SC-1’s Left input before continuing. Not doing
this will cause microphone feedback to be played on the system at
levels that could damage the speakers.
