During Step 4, you will take all the necessary measurements to properly
analyze the room (figure 4.11).

IMPORTANT NOTE: unlike most other room correction systems, ARC 2 needs
from 7 to 16 measurement positions.
A minimum of 7 measurement positions is required. It is not possible to
proceed with the measurement wizard until they are properly taken.
Each measurement should be taken at a different point in the room to cover
the entire area in which you plan to sit when listening to your speakers. A
single or a few points measurement will never be accurate, and this cannot
precisely represent the real acoustical problems of the room. Consequently,
the ARC System 2 requires at least 7 measurements for two main reasons:
1. The ARC System 2 can fix the acoustics of a room from various
listening areas at the same time. To do that, it needs to measure
each listening area.
2. Even if you are planning to listen in a small area, the ARC System
2 requires at least 7 measurements to properly analyze different
listening points, even if they are separated a few inches from each
other.
