After a single calibration is performed, each of
the following three correction curves can be
stored separately in the MCACC memory.
SYMMETRY implements symmetric
correction for each pair of left and right
speakers to flatten the frequency-amplitude
characteristics. ALL CH ADJ is a 'flat' setting
where all the speakers are set individually so
no special weighting is given to any one
channel. FRONT ALIGN
accordance with the front speaker settings (no
equalization is applied to the front left and right
channels).
• THX Speaker (only available when the
Auto MCACC Menu above is ALL or
Speaker Setting) – Select YES if you are
using THX speakers (set all speakers to
SMALL), otherwise leave it set to NO.
• STAND.WAVE Multi-P (only available when
the Auto MCACC Menu above is EQ Pro &
S-Wave) – In addition to measurements at
the listening position, you can use two more
reference points for which test tones will be
analyzed for standing waves. This is useful if
you want to get a balanced 'flat' calibration
for several seating positions in your
listening area.
