SmartEQ Configuration
from a given speaker during the SmartEQ process.
By sampling the frequency response, level and delay
from each speaker, the M80 will be able to optimize each
speaker’s settings to compensate for speaker placement
and room characteristics so surround audio content will
be reproduced exactly as it was created in the studio and
synthesized modes will be properly balanced.
Important Note:
Before starting SmartEQ, eliminate as
much ambient noise from the room as possible. Close
windows and doors, turn off fans or any other devices in
the room that are generating sound.
If staying in the room while Smart EQ is in progress, do
not block ‘line of sight’ between any speaker and the
measurement microphone and try not to move or make
any noise.
Warning:
The sound levels generated during SmartEQ
can become uncomfortable to persons with sensitive
hearing. Quietly leaving the room or use of some form of
ear protection is recommended. Disconnected closed-air
headphones can be used or earplugs can be purchased in
better drug stores, musical instrument stores or building
supply outlets where heavy tools are sold.

microphone in the Ideal Listening Zone as shown in
Diagrams 5 & 6

tener, position the microphone in a position centered
to where the users would typically be seated, or for a
large room, position the microphone in the center of
the room. Position the microphone to typical seated
ear level. (Turning the M80 box on end and placing it
in the user’s seated position makes a convenient mic
stand.)
