S&V: What’s next for Audyssey and MultEQ-X?
Clark: We’re listening closely to early feedback and encouraging everyone to make their voices heard at Ask.Audyssey.com, our tech support ticketing system. We’re hard at work on Version 1.1, which will deliver customer-driven features, including target-curve EQ import. After that, we plan to implement some of the big ideas that we’ve had floating around in an effort to make MultEQ calibration even better. Users should expect regular updates and we’re excited to deliver them.
Meanwhile, we’re readying two hardware offerings that will give users even more precise measurements. The first is a special electronic adapter cable that will allow users of our Audyssey Pro Calibration Kit to use the kit with MultEQ-X and the latest AVRs; those users will also be able to extend the microphone cable up to 1 kilometer (3,281 feet). The second item is a more consumer-friendly — and lower-priced — calibrated microphone. We haven’t announced delivery dates yet, but registered MultEQ-X users — even those not yet licensed — will be notified by e-mail when these items are available.
