How to use Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional
If you find that lowe
r
f
r
equencies seem ove
r
ly
r
eve
r
be
r
ant
in you
r
listening

r
that

r
ent channels seem to exhibit diffe

r
istics, select
EQ Pro. & S-Wave
(o
r
ALL
) fo
r
the
Auto MCACC
setting in
Automatic MCACC (Expert)
on

ate the

pr
ovide a balanced calib
r
ation that suits the

acte
r
istics of you
r
listening

If you still a
r
en’t satisfied with the
r
esults, the manual
Advanced EQ Setup
(below)
pr
ovides a mo
r
e
customized calib
r
ation of you
r
system using the di
r

sound of the s

p
of a
g
r
a

r
using a com

How to interpret the graphical output
The g
r
a
p
h shows decibels on the ve
r
tical axis and time (in
milliseconds) on the ho
r
izontal axis. A st
r
aight line
indicates a flat-
r
es
p
onse
r
oom (no
r
eve
r
b), whe
r
eas a
slo
p
ing line indicates the
pr
esence of
r
eve
r
be
r
ation when
out
p
utting test tones. The slo
p
ing line will eventually
flatten out when the
r
eve
r
be
r
ant sound stabilizes (this
usually takes about 100 ms o
r
so).
By analyzing the g
r
a
p
h, you should be able to see how
you
r
r
oom is
r
es
p
onding to ce
r
tain f
r
