Do not assume that the settings will be the same, however. We have never seen
a room that is so perfectly symmetrical that everything is the same for both
channels. Usually, most of the settings are at least somewhat different, and at
least one or two are quite different.
Remember, the goal is to have both channels perform optimally despite what
the room is doing to them. A different location in the room yields different col-
orations, which require different corrections.
Still, if your room is relatively symmetrical, you may be able to save some time
by copying the settings from the Left speaker to the Right speaker, and then fine-
tuning them as needed to achieve the desired result. If doing so doesn’t get you
pretty close, you may be better off starting at the beginning of the process and
working your way through it step by step.
Refine all your settings The last round of adjustments involves going back and forth between the Left
and the Right speaker, comparing the two and fine-tuning them to be as similar
to each other as possible. Remember, you are striving for a curve that measures
roughly as follows:
Once you are satisfied with the overall shape of the pink noise curve and with
the match between your two speakers, settled back with your favorite refresh-
ment and some great music, and enjoy your work. The effort invested in calibra-
tion today will provide enjoyment for years to come.
Save Your Work! The DCAB-1 saves your changes at every step along the way. There is no “Save”
command that you need to remember to use occasionally.
However, we strongly suggest printing the terminal window of the adjusted
DCAB-1 in your system, after calibration. Save that piece of paper with this
manual. That way, you can experiment with slightly different settings at a later
time, knowing you will always be able to set everything back the way it was.
