4.6.1 Examples of measurement locations in various room types
This section will visually describe a number of different audio production
rooms with an indication of where the measurement microphone should be
placed for each measurement. However, these diagrams should only be used
as examples and not as specific positional instructions for your own room.
The order of each of the 7 required measurements is not critial. However,
it is essential to take the measurements in a symmetrical pattern. Using a
clock quadrant as an example, if you take a measurement at 9 o'clock, then
you need to take another measurement at 3 o'clock, and so on. Now if you
have two listening areas, a chair plus a "client couch" like in example 3,
the result will be more accurate if you take one measurement set (with 7
required measurements or more) per listening area. Please check the fol-
lowing examples below:
Example 1
Studio, one chair, one main listening position (figure 4.12).
figure 4.12
Main position is marked as 1, and it is perfectly centered between the two
speakers at the main listening position. This is the position you should use to
calibrate levels (see Paragraph 4.5) and for the first measurement.
All other measurements are symmetrical to an imaginary central line, so
measurements after the first one (main position) are taken alternatively on
the Left and Right side.
