Audyssey MultEQ-X Software: Walk-through of the Denon/Marantz Measurement and Calibration Process

[@marcgigliotti9637]

Glad you guys are still supporting Audyssey despite Dirac’s momentum. I have both, and hands down I think MultEQ X produces better results. Kudos to Denon and Marantz for including both, as their competition will only make them better.

[@mischugo]

And I'm not having a good experience with the whole Dirac universe at the moment 🙈

[@pumpituphomeboy]

Not that you could tell from this video. Very apparent that Massimo owns the Audyessy mobile app and that MQ-X is standalone product sold direct by Audyessy. According to this video you can get the same results from both apps. Zero attention given to the advanced features of MQ-X which put it miles ahead of the mobile app.

[@texxhexxmm]

​@@mischugoare you using also Bass Control? I do and it is a while other Dimension compared to Dirac live only.

[@Ian4k4]

The best introduction to Audyssey I've ever seen, well done.

[@jacknelson3619]

Thank-you for putting out this video! I'll be using MultEQ-X soon so the timing on your video was great!

[@nickmaddalena985]

Used this video to fine tune and override. Best results yet. Thanks for the video!!! Please in future updates and if not possible, create receivers with more than two profiles for those with multiple environments. E.g Open or closed doors /movable walls etc...

[@reggiemurphy7028]

you rock Phil. i just bought several dymension series with the A1H .

[@frankpanis2748]

Will Audyssey offer individual subwoofer calibration in the future? Kind of competition for Dirac DLBC?

[@perrypalmer7126]

Thanks for sharing that video. I’m not understanding what microphone you’re using, how you’re getting it into the computer, and how do you transfer the files into your receiver?

[@bobbyDig]

It is sad you don't have a Mac version, but I can run Dirac on my Mac. Audyssey needs to step up.

[@darknessnightfall]

How does this compare ( or is different) from Dirac? Thank you for all the interesting video's

[@Adonis-qj1nq]

What an amazing video, the best explanation of how to tune Audyssey I have ever seen, and I have been looking for a lot of videos to get my system setup just right. Thanks so much for this.

[@mauriciob8260]

Excellent video, very educational but is overwhelming for me😢, I bought the android app version for 20.00 dollars and the result is good enough for me 😊

[@manfredkrafczyk5755]

Is this software working for the AV 8805 or is this device too „old“?

[@tyroneearnest4513]

Great video but get that center pulled out to the front edge of the cabinet to prevent reflection! 😊

[@stingber]

These speakers are excellent matching for Dirac Live ART! (built in subs)🤩

[@wktek48]

Great instructions video ❤

[@donaldlee6760]

I use software called Multi Sub Optimizer that can do advanced sub optimizations over multiple seats, particularly if you run 4 subs (typically placed in the 4 room corners) and your AVR only has two independent sub outs, but MultiEQ-X is nice because it's such a simple tool and if you only have two subs with two independent sub outs it can be plenty good enough.

[@SoundUnitedTraining]

Several newer Denon (3800H and higher) along with Marantz (Cinema 50 and higher) AVRs now include 4 subwoofers

[@MrNorcal81]

I've sent the calibration results to my Denon AVR with MRC on and off. I prefer off because I've lost some some high frequency hearing (not unusual at my age) and it gives me a subtle difference in overall "brightness" in the sound. The other thing is that Audyssey, in any of it three versions (AVR, EQ app or EQ-X) tends to set crossovers that are sometimes odd. As an example, my center speaker is an RSL CG25 with a nominal frequency range of 51-35000 hz but Audyssey always sets it at 40hz I could set it at 60hz but why make my Denon x3800 work that hard? I always set it to 80hz anyway . I love EQ-X's flexibility. When you live in a typical residential neighborhood, running Audyssey in a pristine silent atmosphere can be trying. If, lets say, a car goes by during tones to one mic location,EQ-X lets you cancel and instantly repeat it or wait until the calibration is done and repeat that location afterwards. The EQ app is pretty good but is a bit more cumbersome at times and the internal AVR version lets you cancel and redo a location but is very limited and you can't customize the results. AudysseyEQ-X, along with its calibrated microphone is $280 but if you want to get the most out of your system its worth it. The only drawback is that can be licensed to one AVR only and can't be used on any other AVR. That does kind of suck.🤮

[@jasonoland8325]

Is it possible to use the software on a Mac? I only have the Mac studio and the iPhone and I see this as Windows software I do have the Marantz receiver and I’m looking to buy the Marantz pre-pro. Thank you.

[@firstphoton655]

does this work for sony recievers

[@madcrabber1113]

How many separate files can you save? This seems great to use for most movies but music has so many variances I find myself manually adjusting my subs etc. when playing music from different sources etc. song by song.

[@CustomPCBuilderUK]

Hopefully the ability to use Dynamic EQ without the surround channels volume boosting aspect will be in the next major update. It's the only thing holding me back from buying MultEQ-X. Especially for gaming, the surround channels are too loud and the Ref. Level Offset is not a suitable / effective solution. There simply needs to be an off option for the surround channels volume in relation to the rest of what Dynamic EQ does. Dynamic EQ is great, but the extra loud surround channels have been a massive headache for many users for years, with content such as games and music mixed in Dolby Atmos.

[@jonathanyoung7050]

When is MultEq-X going to be on Apple MacBooks Pro?

[@wendellwendellb339]

At what level should the AVR be set?

[@brawlman]

DL MultEQ-X, installed, but did not allow me to "Get License" in the app...? Same network, AVR seen, but can't purchase license... Contacted Audyssey

[@texxhexxmm]

Where can i buy the audyssey X app? In app store there is no button for purchase..

[@Rayman-expertsoundpro]

I would love to try this out but given my AVR is 4 years old, I am hesitant as then I will have to purchase this again as its tied to the machine. That continues to be a deal breaker for me.

[@Yakena1]

6 months and Cinema 30 is still not on the authorized AVR list for the Microsoft app.

[@GaneshPerumal-qt1ly]

How much prowess does the laptop need to do multi q x smoothly?

[@vitalismunchen5740]

is the umik 1 working with X ?

[@SoundUnitedTraining]

Audyssey doesn't support digital USB mics, you can either use the mic that came with the receiver or the ACM1-X which is individually calibrated for MultEQ-X

[@gurkal89]

you can use it with REW to do further analysis

[@texxhexxmm]

Is audyssey x not available currently? No buy Option

[@mischugo]

Unfortunately not for Mac users, or is there some kind of a workaround? I have the iPad version, but there's not really much to correct

[@SoundUnitedTraining]

You could use virtualization software, such as Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion or Boot Camp to run MultEQ-X

[@BrockMakesVideosSometimes]

you guys are great

[@ericshutter5305]

Any news on Dirac Live Bass release ??

[@SoundUnitedTraining]

coming soon to Denon and Marantz AVRs, stay tuned.

[@venkatesanjb284]

will it support marantz sr6013 ?

[@SoundUnitedTraining]

Yes, the Marantz SR6013 is supported

[@ddcrocky3831]

I wish adjusting the curses in the app was as easy because it is impossible i don't use it

[@dutchgrower2971]

So it will only work on 1 unit, not tranceble , sorry for my english 😅

[@magtour]

Mult E Q. EQ Equalization. MultEQ

[@Tazmanian_Ninja]

1:39 "The software is free. But you need to purchase a license to use it." - That means the software is NOT free.

[@AkosSabo]

Really ??? For additional $200 USD for one single license ??? Isn´t it straightforward that when you buy a high end expensive receiver you get the best possible way to calibrate it for free ??? Yes you get the not the best calibration for free Audyssey MultiEQ TX32 or XT but if you havet to sell a better option for $200 USD than they are not good enought. Its a shame

[@mrtickleuk]

Why is Mr Jones pronouncing it "ard-issey" instead of "ord-issey"? Does he pronounce AUDIO as "ardio"? Bizarre, and very jolting to hear every time he says it! Anyway, thanks for the useful video!
