Can I use multichannel profile for system-wide calibration?
At the moment, system-wide calibration is not supported for multichannel profiles. The multichannel calibration profiles can be loaded in the SoundID Reference standalone app for supported device export purposes or applying a target mode before the profile export.
Can I use my own or 3rd party measurement microphone for speaker calibration?
↓
Can I use my own or 3rd party measurement microphone for speaker calibration?
Yes, third-party mics can be used to measure your multichannel system, however, we are unable to provide third-party mic calibration files, therefore, the measurement may not be as precise. We recommend using SoundID Reference Measurement Microphone for the best results as the microphone profile will include 0°, 30°, and 90° calibration curves.
