IMPROPER
The microphones SHOULD NOT be
positioned:
 Along the perimeter of the listening positions
or listening area
 In spots where listeners’ heads will not be during
listening
 In an obstructed line-of-sight path with the
loudspeakers
 In a location obstructed by furniture and other
fixtures
 Within 2 feet (0.61m) of loudspeakers and walls
 More than 30 feet (9.14m) from any one
loudspeaker.
The listening room to the left shows improper microphone
placement for the automatic calibration. The microphones
are positioned along the perimeter of the listening area,
making it difficult for the MC-12 to calibrate optimal
results for actual listening positions. In addition, the
microphones are positioned in obstructed locations on
the floor.
