Note: Measuring some distant corner where no one would be listening,
or close to a room boundary such as a wall or floor, is actually
counterproductive. It will compromise the quality of the resulting
room correction by introducing irrelevant data.
A minimum of three measurements must be taken before the application will
allow you to move on to the next step. Up to 32 measurements may be taken,
although most rooms can be characterized quite well with 7-10 measurements
(depending on the size of the listening area).
The measurement process takes several minutes depending on the number of
channels MultEQ Pro will have to measure. It is essential to accurate room cor-
rection, and it actually goes quite quickly. Think of it: in a 7.3 channel system,
using ten listening positions, one thousand measurements are being made. (Ten
speakers, times ten locations, times ten chirps per speaker is 1000 measure-
ments.) This is far more data than any human technician could master, and
allows the SC-1 to do a far better job of ascertaining what problems are most
characteristic of the room (rather than idiosyncratic to a single microphone loca-
tion).
Click the forward (right-pointing) triangle to move to the next screen after you
are satisfied that you have made all the relevant measurements.
Detection Results
This screen displays the speaker Distance and Trim results derived from your Po-
sition 1 measurement and the recommended Crossover derived from all of your
position measurements. MultEQ
® Pro lists individual speaker crossovers.
Note: You must manually enter the information on this screen into the
preamplifier/processor’s settings.
Speaker Type indicates the approximate size of the detected loudspeaker as de-
termined by its native in-room bass response.
