With the supplied calibrated microphone,
Audyssey MultEQ
®
XT32 automatically determines
the number of speakers connected, their size for
purposes of bass management, optimum crossover
frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and
distances from the primary listening position.
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 then removes the distortion
caused by room acoustics by capturing room
acoustical problems over the listening area in both
the frequency and time domain. The result is clear,
well-balanced sound for everyone.
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 can be used with
Audyssey Dynamic EQ
®
and
Audyssey Dynamic Volume
®
(➔ page 72).
Before using this function, connect and position all of
your speakers.
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 offers two ways of
measuring: the “Audyssey Quick Start” and
“Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Full Calibration”.
•“Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement
from one position to perform the speaker setting
only.
•“Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Full Calibration” uses
the measurement from eight positions to correct
room response in addition to the speaker setting.
The more positions are used in measuring, the better
the listening environment will become. We
recommend using a measurement from eight
positions to create the best listening environment.
The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration
takes about 20 minutes.
Total measurement time varies depending on the
number of speakers.
Measurement procedure
To create a listening environment in your home
theater that all listeners will enjoy,
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 takes measurements at up to
eight positions within the listening area. Position the
microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the
microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a
tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand
during measurements as this will produce inaccurate
results.
■ First measurement position
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position, this
refers to the most central position where one would
normally sit within the listening environment.
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 uses the measurements
from this position to calculate speaker distance, level,
and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
■ Second-eighth measurement positions
These are the other listening positions (i.e., the
places where the other listeners will sit). You can
measure up to eight positions.
Note
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room
measurements. Close windows, televisions, radios, air
conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light
dimmers, or other devices. Turn off the cell phone (even if
it is not in use) or place it away from all audio electronics.
• The microphone picks up test tones played through each
speaker as Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and
Speaker Setup runs.
• Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker
Setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is
connected.
