Using Audyssey 2EQ ®
Using Audyssey 2EQ to create a listening environment in
your home theater that all listeners will enjoy,
Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to 3 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. 2EQ
uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum
crossover value for the subwoofer.
Second measurement position
The right side of the listening area.
Third measurement position
The left side of the listening area.
The distances from position to and to must be
at least 1 meter.
Note
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room measure-
ments. Close windows, televisions, radios, air conditioners, flu-
orescent 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 which played through each
speaker as Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup
run.
• Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup cannot be
performed while a pair of headphones is connected.
