Audyssey MultEQ Editor app

沒中文，所以給四顆星，何時可以中文化呢？

Audyssey sounds awful. The app is pretty bad. However, it allows you to export the calibration file and run a 3rd party optimization script called audyssey one evo. It gives Dirac like results and it makes the app finally worth it!

This app works great minus the current subwoofer bug. I consistently get -12db and have troubleshooted everything I could imagine. I used a different sub, I adjusted the gain multiple times, i flipped the phase. Same results. Every. Single. Time. Please fix this bug with the next update.

There is a lot of information out there about this app you must avoid. For example, AVS and Audioholics forums tell you to turn off the mid range sound correction. This attempt is fool stricken as it is this simple compensation that helps you feel surrounded by sound, engulfed in it, this compensation is Spatial Audio and is Dolby Atmos, DTS, and Auro 3D. There is a difference between all and this app allows you to experience it all. Spatial Audio simply refers to following the speaker or object. If someone or something is making noise on the right of the screen you will hear sound coming from the right of the screen. Now let’s take a deeper dive. Dolby Atmos is meant to be experienced as round sound waves or whats refered to as a sine wave. DTS has a trianglular sound wave and Auro 3D is in between with a sawtooth sound wave. You will not be able to hear or feel the difference with midrange compensation turned off. Turning off the midrange compensation does give you the ability to listen to your speakers in a Pure and raw form. After experiencing High End Klipsch, Polk, Kef, and monolith I have found that I enjoy the performance of Elac Debut 2.0 speakers. And once I found the speakers I like the most, I then turned midrange compensation back on and enjoyed being surrounded by beautiful soundwaves. Please note, the sound comes from a superior Denon AV Receiver with a monolith and Emotiva amp with sound only rated between 90-150 watts. As you have noticed, to buy amplifiers 200 watts and above you must invest thousands, which I did not do. I simply picked the right speakers, like Elac that are fully powered at 140 watts and can perform extremely well with budget amps, like the M7100x that pushes only 90 watts. This app gives you a library of quantitative data to choose from and is simply a must if you have invested in an av receiver and so on. I thank the creators of this app and urge users to not follow the advice on AV forums but rather the acoustics in your own house and system. Filtering sound to “remove the curtains” can also be in vain. When you filter the sound you are losing the character of the sound waves and focusing on pure audio from your speakers which results in less spatial audio. Thank you

I’m still very new to the use of Audyssey and owning this quality of Home Theater System my 1st system was a Bose lifestyle 16 and while I loved it then it was just plug and play not compatible with todays technology. So my recent upgrade to Denon and Klipsch 7.2.4 and getting the best possible sound has involved some learning. I must say I’m kinda enjoying the process now that I’m starting to understand it more. This app is a necessity if you want to use Audyssey that comes on your AVR. But this I know for sure since this app is owned and developed by Denon and Marantz. Not Audyssey itself they apparently only License it. But own this they certainly should offer it free to everyone who bought they’re products. I know it’s only $20 bucks but if it wasn’t necessary they wouldn’t have felt the need to buy the license and develop the app in fact Audyssey should be paying them back for improving they’re product’s so well that’s just my thought. Until they make it free though it’s a must so cough up the $20 bucks you’ll be glad you did.

Thought it would be worth $20 to be able to disable the midrange compensation. After hard-wiring the AVR it runs through the calibration fine, but fails with a communication error trying to actually save it to the receiver. Tried power cycling it like the error suggested, same issue. Glad this wasn’t the $200 app.

I was able to connect to my SR8015 Marantz, but it would not find my subwoofer. So, usless for me. Requested refund.

Just awesome to be able to balance my setup, really enhance clarity and smooth out problems. $20 well spent, literally hours of fun. If you are wondering why spend the extra when the receiver has the same thing? From my pov you can make the most of your space and customize way beyond the one size fits all flat response. Even helps bridge the gap between home theater and music. Yes, the app is spartan in terms of educating if you are just staring out and the UX really needs some love. There could be an array of target curves to help become familiar with how a change impacts what you hear. Perhaps it could suggest solutions if you have a specific problem. Most of all it treats each speaker pair in isolation instead of treating them as a whole system, but you can still get to a happy place with a bit of trial and error. 5 stars because of what you can achieve, but I hope the developer understands that they haven’t done anyone any favors with the user experience. These is so much potential for a much better in app experience.

Sony and Yamaha AVR’s have much better Web Interface to fine tune the sound, Sound United (Denon & Marantz) need to update the AVR to allow EQ adjustments for Pro Users, instead charging $20 for an App and/or $200 for one license to adjust what I paid for “A Surround Sound System”.

Why can’t I set crossovers manually and set target curve to flat in the app? Audyssey detects my main speakers as large and sets them to full band on the AVR, but sets a crossover point different when using the app. It is really annoying. Also allow use of manual entry for curve editor so that it is easier to narrow down the adjustments.
