Steinway & Sons Marine Speaker – Installation Manual
ROOMPERFECTTM CALIBRATION
Why do you need room correction? The characteristics of your room affect the sound that reaches your ears.
In any system, more than 50% of the sound you hear comes from the contribution of the room, echoes,
reflections, absorption, and the like.
Follow the instructions of the Installation Manual of the Processor, but note that during measurements, you
can work, talk and move around in the room. But the measurements will last longer depending on the level of
background noise.
Guidelines for a correct calibration
In closed rooms, RoomPerfectTM will address room acoustical issues such as typical room modes and boundary
reflections, and improve the sound performance in the listening area.
In open spaces, RoomPerfectTM won’t be required to take care of the typical room modes and boundary
reflections known from closed rooms. RoomPerfectTM will still audibly improve the stereo or surround imaging
in the main listeing area by levelling and aligning all speakers correctly, and lead to an overall better sound
performance compared to speaker systems without any calibration.
RoomPerfectTM will measure in two parts. A preferred listening seat or main listening area (1) has to be defined
and measured as the Focus position, followed by several random measurements across the room (2).
If there is more than one preferred listening seat or main listening areas, additional Focus positions can be
defined after the room measurements (2) in a following measurement (3).
