Real-Ear Measurements

If the instrument didn’t successfully level, there are several things you can try.

• Check the position of the sound field speaker. It should be 12 to 15 inches

from the client’s head.

• Make sure the microphones are securely plugged into the remote module.
• Make sure the front of the reference microphone is as close to the client’s

head as possible.

• Check the calibration of the loudspeaker and microphones. See Appendix

B.

• Check the noise level in the room. It may be necessary to change or cor-

rect the sound field environment.

See Section 2.8 for details on the leveling status and troubleshooting the level-
ing process.
