The Advanced MCACC (Multi Channel
ACoustic Calibration) system was developed in
Pioneer's laboratories with the aim of making it
possible for home users to perform
adjustments of the same level as in a studio
easily and with high precision. The acoustic
characteristics of the listening environment
are measured and the frequency response is
calibrated accordingly to allow high precision,
automatic analysis and optimal calibration of
the sound field to bring it closer to a studio
environment than ever before. Furthermore,
while it was previously difficult to eliminate
standing waves, this receiver is equipped with
a standing wave control function using a
unique process to perform acoustic analysis
and reduce their influence.
This section describes how to calibrate the
sound field automatically and fine-adjust the
sound field data manually.
