4 - Using the ARC 2 Measurement
3 3
ARC System 2
Example 3
Studio, one chair plus “client couch” listening area (figure 4.14).
figure 4.14
Main position is marked as 1, and it is perfectly centered between the two
speakers at the main listening position. This is the position you should use
to calibrate levels and for the first measurement.
All other measurements are symmetrical to an imaginary central line, so
measurements after the first one (Main position) are taken alternatively on
the Left and Right side.
The optimized listening area is extended to the client couch as well; Placing
the microphone as shown on figure 4.14 will create a correction intervention
that optimizes the listening at the engineer’s chair and at the client couch
at the same time.
In a situation like this, we suggest saving two measurements sets (or cor-
rections), so that one set can be done with all 16 measurements at the engi-
neer’s chair, and the other set will include the client couch. The most suitable
correction will be loaded in the ARC 2 Plug-In depending on whether the
client is present and wants to listen from the couch.
