Customizing the Nº502 Mark Levinson
PROPER
Placement of
Microphones –
MULTIPLE
Listening Positions
in a Single Row
For multiple listening positions in multiple rows, place the microphones:
D at the approximate position of the listeners’ heads.
D in a clear line-of-sight path with all of the speakers.
D in a location unobstructed by furniture and other fixtures, where
echoes will not obscure calibration noise signals.
D at least 2 feet (0.61m) from all speakers and walls, but within 30
feet (9.14m) of all speakers.
The following illustration provides an example of proper microphone
placement when calibrating for multiple listening positions in
multiple rows. Each microphone is positioned in a single listening
position in multiple rows, allowing the Nº502 to calibrate the optimal
Room Correction, speaker distances, and output levels for a larger
listening area, at the expense of a single listening position.
