2 About Setup and measurement microphone 
placement
•Measurements are performed by placing the Setup and measurement 
microphone successively at multiple positions throughout the entire 
listening area, as shown in GExample qH.
•Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH, 
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment 
results in more eective correction.

 2 About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position is the position where listeners would 
normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening 
environment. Before starting Audyssey® Setup, place the Setup and 
measurement microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey 
MultEQ® XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate 
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for 
the subwoofer.
