That's a classic typo!

Yes, "can't" is what I meant to say.

MCACC stuff

MCACC settings (and its counterparts like audyssey), are essentially built in tools used for the common clientele to calibrate their systems, including speaker distance, equalization (at times), and other parameters tailored towards your listening area, resulting in a good fine tuned environment.

quick reference towards what MCACC does...

IDEALLY.

its a great way to start figuring out the relations of your speakers and the acoustic environment you currently have. sure its not up to par to a calibration done by a professional, nor would it determine everything up to a precision, but its a start.

it does tho, most of the time, has a hard tiime evaluating the speakers size, and since subs produce a non-localized point, its difficult for it to determine where it is. remember: this is a tool used primarily for ROOM EQUALIZATION and not SPEAKER SETUPS. this is only an add on.

better results can be had tho using a SPL meter and a quick learning of how to use em properly.

the best results would be using an True RTA program paired with a good calibration microphone.

As stated by a very good colleague of mine, these 'built in' gizmos and products are simple add ons by these manufacturers to solve all problems, both realistic and well, relative. The most important aspects of it boil down to getting the basics done right. Acoustic treatments, placements, etc. in a comparative example these are the 'miracle diet pills' that are included, when all you need is a good diet and exercise.

I have really enjoyed your posts jomari (aka "the other guy") . They are to the point and yet easily understood. I have learned quite a bit from you and any postings you've seen of mine is a pat on the back for yourself as well!

The Other Guy didnt get thru the higher beings. im okay with that tho, doesnt change a thing.
