Positioning the Microphone
IMPORTANT! During the measurement process, the mic must point
toward the ceiling, positioned at ear level when you are seated.
1. Position microphone on or near the first position (see diagram, pg. 18).
Remove cushions from seating, if necessary, to attain correct height.
To adjust the height of the telescoping stand, loosen the large black
clamp in the middle of the stand by rotating it counter-clockwise;
retighten once desired height has been achieved.
Five listening positions are normally measured but this number can be
increased to ten positions (see diagram, pg. 18)—the first position must
be
at or just in front of the central seating position. Positions 2 and 3
should be symmetric to the left and right of the center line. The same
applies to the remaining positions.
IMPORTANT: Even if your room has less than five seating positions,
to ensure optimal sound, measurements
must be taken from five different
listening positions. Each position should be at least 2 feet (60 cm) apart.
2. Set the microphone in the first position;
3. Before starting to measure, set the subwoofer’s Gain control to its
center detent position; set Cut-Off Frequency to Bypass; and set Phase
control to ‘0’. After running PBK, these controls can be adjusted as
necessary as you complete the setup of your system. See section
‘Fine Tuning.’
