Select a Zone
Note: The Select a Zone screen only appears if you have assigned more than one
zone to the Sound Equalizer at the Zone Configuration screen, page 21.
The numbers in the Channel column correspond to the channel numbering for the
Sound Equalizer. This may be different than the numbering on the back of the
pre/pro. The information in the Speakers column corresponds to the type of speaker
assigned to each Sound Equalizer channel on the Zone Configuration screen.
Confirm that this information is correct before continuing.
Decide which zone to calibrate by selecting the button next to the Zone. Zones may
be calibrated in any order.
After finishing the calibration for a zone, click the arrow to return to this screen to
calibrate any remaining zones. See Save Results, page 33.
Room Dimensions
Input the dimensions of the customer’s room by clicking the up/down arrows next to
each data field. Select from English or Metric units (feet or meters).
Note
This screen will need to be completed for each of the zones.
If desired, manually calculate and write down the volume of the room (Area x
Height) to help select an Audyssey target curve later. See Target Sound Options,
page 28).
The information entered at this screen may be stored on the Audyssey Installer
Website account and will not affect filters created or saved to the Sound Equalizer.
Room Dimensions
It should be explained to
customers that if the
layout of the room
changes, a recalibration
will be necessary to
create MultEQ XT filters
that match the room’s
new configuration. This
is because the room’s
configuration influences
the performance of loud-
speakers and therefore,
the frequency response
throughout the room.
Surfaces such as walls,
the ceiling, the floor, and
furniture distort sound
playback throughout the
room.
