The g
r
a
p
h below shows the diffe
r
ence between
conventional acoustic calib
r
ation and
pr
ofessional
calib
r
ation (the g

cle indicates the

r
ing f
r
equency analysis).
As soon as audio is out
p
ut f
r
om you
r
s
p
eake
r
system, it
is influenced by
r
oom cha
r
acte
r
istics, such as walls,
fu
r
nitu
r
e, and the dimensions of the
r
oom. The soone
r
the f
r
equency analysis, the less it is influenced by the
r
oom. We
r
ecommend an ea
r
lie
r
time setting of
30~50ms
to com
p
ensate fo
r
two majo
r
facto
r
s that will
influence the sound of most
r
ooms:
•
Reverberance of high vs. low frequencies
–
De
p
ending on you
r
r
oom, you may find that lowe
r
f
r
equencies seem ove
r
ly
r
eve
r
be
r
ant com
p
a
r
ed to
highe
r
f
r
equencies (i.e. you
r
r
oom sounds ‘boomy’).
This may
r
esult in a skewed f
r
equency analysis if the
measu
r
ement is done too late.
•
Reverb characteristics for different channels
–
Reve
r
b cha
r
acte
r
istics can be somewhat diffe
r
ent fo
r
each channel. Since this diffe
r
ence inc
r
eases as the
sound is influenced by the va
r
ious
r
oom
cha
r
acte
r
istics, it is often bette
r
to ca
p
tu
r
e a
f
r
equency analysis ea
r
ly on fo
r
smoothe
r
mixing of
channel f
r
equencies/sounds.
If you
r
r
oom isn’t affected by the facto
r
s above, it is often
not necessa
r
y to make a
30~50ms
setting. Late
r
time
settings may
pr
ovide a mo
r
e detailed sound ex
p
e
r
ience
with you
r
s
p
eake
r
system. It is best to t
r
y and see what
wo
r
ks best fo
r
you
r
p
a
r
ticula
r
r
oom.
Note that changing the
r
oom (fo
r
exam
p
le, moving
fu
r
nitu
r
e o
r
p
aintings) will affect the calib
r
ation
r
esults.
In such cases, you should
r
ecalib
r
ate you
r
system.
