About setup microphone placement
• Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone
successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening
area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we recommend
you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the illustration
(up to eight positions).
• Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position is the position where listeners would
normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening
environment. Before starting Audyssey Auto Setup, place the setup
microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ
®
XT 32
uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker
distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the
subwoofer.
About multiple subwoofer calibration
Audyssey multiple subwoofer calibration optimizes the level, delay,
and frequency response blending of two subwoofers.
z To run Audyssey multiple subwoofer calibration you must select
“Measure (2 spkrs)” in “Set up “Channel Select”” (vpage64).
The “Simple version” section provides the speaker installation, connection, and setup methods for the 7.1-channel system with surround back speakers.
For the installing, connecting, and setup methods of speakers other than the 7.1-channel system (with surround back speakers), see page 54 .
