Just take 5 close measurements (up to 20cm from MLP): 1-MLP, 2- right above MLP, 3 - left above MLP, 4 - front below MLP, 5 - back below MLP . Now export the .ady file to your PC and use OCA's A1 EVO script. This ensures best results, even better than Dirac live on my X4800H with dual subs.
@kuriakos36 there is a target curve that you set. Evo gives you one but you can load your own as well. That is according to OCA’s RU-vid video on this.
I enjoyed your video. I have often wondered about the suggestion of taking measurements behind the seat, as your ears will never be in that position. I am going to try taking measurements using your technique this week. Since you are using REW, have you tried the A1 EVO process? The bass response in my system has improved exponentially after modifying my Audyssey files using this process. There is a RU-vid vid on A1 EVO and you might want to read the details about it on the AVS forums.
Thanks. Truly appreciate the feedback. I did watch the RU-vid video and have also been following the AVS discussion. That’s next on my list to try out. Thanks for reminding me.
@@magnoliamo A1 evo sounds so clear and spacious! I've never thought that my setup can sound that good! It´s on the same level as Trinnov! Try it please, you will you will rediscover your setup. Greetings from the Austrian Alps, Simon
What is A1 EVO? I just got the Cinema 30 and need to run MultEQ-X. Crazy how good it sounds out of the box tho. I just did distance and level after plug in.
Glad to see you trying out my suggestion. Tighter bass is definitely one of the benefits and is probably most noticeable in surround and immersive content. The other benefit is probably somewhat less noticeable with surround content and more applicable in 2-channel. (It does have the same benefit in surround, its just harder to isolate the effect because so much is going on) I recommend listening to some 2-channel music or content you know really well to listen for additional changes.
At the moment, I am trying to figure out the front wides' placement: closer to the mains, closer to me, or right in the middle. As usual, different diagrams show different things. Marantz will show one thing, and Dolby will show something else, lol.
lol yes. I started with Marantz recommendation but then switched to Dolby’s spec. It is in the middle of the room, half way to the listening position. Checkout the video I did on this: Are Front Wide Speakers Worth the Upgrade? 9.2.4 Home Theater Setup #hometheater ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MG7Wl-qufpo.html
I only do three. I have three seats. I've been using Audyssey for 15 years with Marantz, and it always sounded best if I stopped at three. This may be partly why. I just followed the screen like everyone else.
Dirac is supposedly better because of subwoofer calibration capabilities. But Audyssey MultEQ XT32 is no slouch. I have no experience with Dirac. If you have Audyssey MultEQ XT32 and the MultEQ App then along with the calibration file from Obssesive Compulsive Audiophile the Audyssey sound is much improved.

@@krishnataveras8734 If you follow the Audyssey’s onscreen direction last two positions are behind the listening 20 inches on the right and left. But you can take those last measurements 6 inches to the front right and left or next to the MLP.
