Using Audyssey 2EQ® To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to three positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results. B First measurement position Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer. C Second measurement position The right side of the listening area. D Third measurement position The left side of the listening area. The distances from position B to C and B to D must be at least 1 meter. TV : Listening area B to D: Listening position Note • Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices. Turn off the cell phone (even if it is not in use) or place it away from all audio electronics. • The microphone picks up test tones which played through each speaker as Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup run. • Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected. 1 Turn on the AV receiver and the connected TV.
