Calibration notes:
• A common master volume range is -35db to -25dB.
• A signal-to-noise ratio error indicates too low of audio to
measure. Master output may need to increase.
• A clipping error indicates too high of an audio level to
measure. Master output may need to decrease.
• If your subwoofer has gain control, this control may need
to be adjusted to assist with the volume calibration of
that channel.

14. Place the microphone closest to the listening
position shown in arrangement image.
15. Press “Measure selected position.
16. DIRAC will now send test tones out of the
systems channels to measure.
Note: While measuring a 7.2.4 system, the test tone will appear to
come from both subwoofers together. This is normal.

Note: Please take the time to SAVE your current project at this
point, as it will allow you to open this measurement and edit
your filter in the future without having to remeasure your
arrangement again.

Setup
1. Complete amp assign to establish the rooms
layout using either the front panel or the browser
setup menu. This will set up the MHT300 to
know which proper channels to enable to deliver
audio to (“Setup: Speakers > Amp Assign” on
page 22)
Note: After completing “Amp Assign”, press “Next”, and finally
press “Start.” This refreshes NET connection to DIRAC
within the MHT300. Please wait at least 30 seconds to
connect to the MHT300 within the Dirac Live app.
2. Make the room as quiet as possible. Background
noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close

Volume Calibration
8. Set the Master output to a low setting to avoid
damage to ears or speakers.
9. Set the microphone gain to +0dB.
10. Use the Play Button to test channels individually
to hear if their level is suitable. Slowly raise the
master output level until sound can be heard.
Repeat this step for each speaker.
11. Once each channel is complete, adjust the Master
output to a normal or slightly loud listening level.
Filter Design
20. Dirac Live will automatically generate a
suggested target curve based on your speakers
performance and tune their response to meet the
suggested curve. These curves can be adjusted to
your preferences.
21. To manually adjust the generated curve, follow
the Dirac Live User Manual on Filter Design:

For example, if a Dirac Live measurement was taken
with system set to 5.1 – if amp assign is changed to
5.0: the project measured with 5.1 will not be able to
open until the MHT300 is set back to 5.1.
