How to Set Up RoomPerfect™
The RoomPerfect™ microphone is a very sensitive and finely calibrated device
which must be treated with utmost care. If the microphone has been dropped on the
floor, it may be damaged. If this is the case, obtain a new microphone from your
Steinway Lyngdorf representative before performing the system calibration.
Volume Setting
The system guides you through the selection of a proper calibration volume level. Follow the instructions on the
display to find the optimal volume setting for doing the calibration.
You can choose to use a volume setting other than the one requested by the system by choosing Use Current.
The calibration will not be inferior in quality, but the time required for an exact measurement will be longer. If the
volume setting is too high, the system will display Error – Clipping. Reduce the volume and try again.
RoomPerfect™ Preparations
•
Place the RoomPerfect
TM
calibration microphone on the stand. Be sure to fasten the screws properly
so the microphone does not move during a measurement.
•
Plug the supplied microphone cable into the microphone.
•
Connect the microphone cable to the microphone terminal on the rear panel of your processor.
Placing the Microphone in the Focus Position
When you are prompted to place the microphone in the focus position, connect the microphone to the
microphone input on the back panel and place the microphone, using the microphone stand, in your primary
listening position. The height and the orientation of the microphone should correspond to your head’s height
and direction.
Press Enter and a test signal will start from the left speaker. The system will give an estimated optimal volume
for calibrating the system or will accept the current volume. Adjust the volume if required and retry the
measurement.
The calibration volume should not be so loud that it is inconvenient to you, or that it causes damage to your
loudspeakers. If this is the case, set it to a lower and more appropriate level. A low volume can result in a
longer calibration time or a measurement time-out. A low volume and long measurement will not affect the
quality of the end result.
