Manual Mode And Targets - a-them mrx 1120/720 Operating Manual

4.6 MANUAL MODE AND TARGETS

When creating a new file, manual mode is the same as automatic mode except that you
must measure, calculate, and upload in separate steps. After the measurement phase,
targets can be edited but doing so is recommended only for experienced users.
A file created in Automatic mode can be opened in Manual mode to allow target editing.
After changing targets, you must click OK when closing the window to apply the
settings, then Calculate. To restore original settings, click on Auto Detect then Calculate.
For advice in getting the most out of your system based on your measurements, we
welcome you to send your .arc2 file (not screenshots) to Anthem Technical Support.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Upon seeing results for the first time you may be tempted to immediately change the
targets. There is rarely a good technical reason to do so. If you are not satisfied with
the initial results, examine the red pre-correction measurement curve. This shows how
your system is performing without room correction. Does it reflect the performance that
you should be seeing from your speakers, especially in the bass? If not, do not try to
compensate through electronic correction. You are not losing what was never there.
