The microphones SHOULD be positioned:
✓ as close together as possible
✓ relatively centered between and equidistant
from the front left and right loudspeakers
✓ in a clear line-of-sight path with the loudspeakers
✓ in a location unobstructed by furniture and
other fixtures
✓ in a location where echoes will not obscure
calibration noise signals
✓ at least 2 feet (0.61m) from all loudspeakers
and walls
✓ within 30 feet (9.14m) of all loudspeakers
The listening room to the left shows proper microphone
