Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional

This setup minimizes the unwanted effects of
room reverberation by allowing you to calibrate
your system based on the direct sound coming
from the speakers.
How to use Acoustic Calibration EQ
Professional
If you find that lower frequencies seem overly
reverberant in your listening room (i.e. it
sounds 'boomy'), or that different channels
seem to exhibit different reverb characteristics
(when Type A or Type B shown on the diagrams
on the following applies), select EQ Pro. & S-
Wave (or ALL) for the Auto MCACC setting in
Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 78 to
calibrate the room automatically.
• Type A: Reverberance of high vs. low
frequencies
Level
Acoustic Cal. EQ Pro
calibration range
0 80
• Type B: Reverb characteristics for
different channels
Level
Acoustic Cal. EQ Pro
calibration range
0 80
If the pattern is as shown above, select the 30-
50ms setting. If not, this setting is not
necessary.
