Completed Automatic timing alignment for Main Speakers and Subwoofer

[DG77]

It appears to me that the app is measuring the time of flight of each signal from the speaker to the microphone and calculating the difference. It figures out which is the sub and which are the mains by the tones it puts out. Clever.

I think its cool they provide time of flight, because now I know my mains are approximately 13 feet from the listening position (based on approximately 1ft/ms)

What I do not know (but it doesn't matter to me personally) is if once the auto measurement is performed the app automatically sets the Ultra or if I am supposed to go in and set it manually based on the info it provides. Since it measured the same value I had already set nothing changed, so I'll never know unless I set it up with different initial manual entries and run the test again. I didn't even think about that when I ran the test.

Again this is a case where it seems to me the app runs perfectly and does a wonderful job, but some instruction is missing.

You can check if it entered the values for the delay (which it did in my case) by going to ”Subwoofer” -> ”Syncing Subwoofer & Speakers” -> ”Manual”

It works but they can't expect everyone to place their device in the listening position . It does automatically use the calculated value.

Why not just for the one test?

Because it could mean messing around with longer speaker cables etc for the Amp. Also they clearly didn't intend it to be used this way based on previous posts they have made about the feature. Don't give them ideas or they will start recommending it

Oh I understand. It would be more difficult to move the amp around I suppose.
