Configuring the MC-12 for V4 EQ
2-13
Version 4 EQ User Guide
The microphones SHOULD be positioned:
✓ in single listening positions within the listening
room
✓ at the approximate spots where the listeners’
heads 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 several listening positions in the listening
room. Each microphone is positioned in a single 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 area
at the expense of a single listening position.
