Configuring the MC-12 for V4 EQ
2-11
Version 4 EQ User Guide
The microphones SHOULD be positioned:
✓ as close together as possible in a single listening
position (the primary listening position)
✓ at the approximate spot where the listener’s
head will be during listening
✓ in a clear line-of-sight path with all 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
placement for automatic calibration to achieve the best
results for a single listening position. The microphones
are clustered in the primary listening position at the
approximate spot where the listener’s head will be
during listening. As a result, the MC-12 calibrates
optimal results for the selected listening position.
