Speaker Setup Menu
The Audyssey MultEQ software included on the SR5004 represents a powerful solution
for room correction. The included microphone can be placed in one to six listening
positions throughout the room, and the SR5004 will use measurements from those
locations to determine speaker distance, channel trim, and bass management settings
and to apply equalization to all channels to correct for room effects.
Pages 27 through 30 of the SR5004 User Manual provide a detailed description of the
process of running the Audyssey MultEQ setup. Here, we will offer a quick overview of
the process. First, plug the included microphone into the front panel SETUP MIC port.
Place the microphone in the center of the listening area at ear height. If you have a
tripod available, the microphone can be mounted to it and easily positioned at the
correct height. Once that is done, you can select “Start” under the
Auto Setup
sub-
menu.
