If you have finished taking measurements, click the Finish button. By default the Parametric
Equalizer will be opened, with the room measurements loaded so the results can be seen.

Using Parametric EQ to Equalize a Room
By default, the room measurement is smoothed by 100% as the high resolution room effects are
often very position dependant. The smoothing level can be changed by using the Smoothing
slider at the top of the equalizer. Also by default, the room measurements are normalized to a 0
dB level. You can adjust these levels by changing them in the legend at the bottom of the
Equalizer. See Using the Parametric EQ for more details on its use.
Tip when applying manual or automatic EQ: The Sum button can sum the individual components
of a room measurement (ie the left and right speakers, the left and right subwoofers) to give an
overall room response. However, please note that it sums the responses, it does not average
them (for example, a 10dB peak in both the left and right speakers will be a 16dB peak on the
summed response, because doubling the speakers adds 6dB). This means that you should not
sum the room measurements then try to set equalization to correct that sum, because the EQ will
overcompensate for the room measurement. Instead you should apply EQ using the individual,
un-summed room measurements, only using the summed response as a guide.
