Measuring random room positions

When the focus position has been measured, the next step is to measure the acoustical properties of
the room. It is important to perform well spaced measurements to get a comprehensive image of the
acoustical properties of the room. See RoomPerfect™ troubleshooting if the measurement will stop
prematurely.

Keep taking measurements until RoomKnowledge reaches 90%.
