Advanced tuning and room calibration with Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Improve your audio experience with Audyssey MultEQ XT32 with automatic adjustment to the listening environment. Using the included measurement microphone, MultEQ XT32 analyzes the playback characteristics of each speaker (including subwoofers) at up to 8 measurement points and creates precise digital filters that determine appropriate frequency responses and timing settings for each channel. Audyssey Dynamic Volume corrects annoying volume jumps that occur, for example, during commercial breaks on television. Even at low volumes, you can hear dialogues, music and noises clearly and distinctly. Audyssey Dynamic EQ ensures precise sound tuning and maximum clarity at all volume levels. Audyssey Low Frequency Containment (LFC) uses powerful psychoacoustic algorithms to ensure balanced sound across the entire frequency range. Audyssey LFC prevents bass waves from penetrating walls and disturbing neighbors without affecting the bass experience in the listening room. Audyssey Sub EQ HT allows for individual DSP tuning of each subwoofer in dual subwoofer configurations. Compared to configurations with a single subwoofer, this allows deeper and more clearly defined bass to be achieved.
