RV-8
Setup
3-43
When calibrating for a single listening
position, place the microphones:
3
As close together as possible in a single listening
position (the primary listening position)
3
At the approximate spot where the listener’s head
will be during listening
3
In a clear line-of-sight path with the speakers
3
In a location unobstructed by furniture and other
fixtures, where echoes will not obscure calibration
noise signals
3
At least 2 feet (0.61m) from all speakers and
walls, but within 30 feet (9.14m) of all speakers
The illustration to the right provides an example of
proper microphone placement when calibrating for a
single listening position. The microphones are
positioned as close together as possible in a single
listening position, allowing the RV-8 to calibrate optimal
speaker distances and output levels for that position.
