Hey all. I have a little bit of a different question re Audyssey setup today...

Can I place the calibration-mic outside the box* for L and R measurement positions?



I've moved my HT to a new room (a whole new House, actually) and the box* is more narrow than it used to be.

I am doing my Calibration with 6 positions:
- main
- Left as far as I can go within the box
- Right as far as I can go within the box
- Repeat all above but forward 2.5 feet

I don't think my spacing is adequate as most of my Crossover points are coming out too high for my liking.

M22: 100
VP150 80
QS8 120

In my last room, when this happened, I used wider spacing in my calibration and my crossovers came out much better... but I don't have that luxury here as the front main positions are relatively narrow.

If the 1st measurement (main seating position) is used to calibrated distance and timing, can I do the other measurements outside the box* as they should only be used for EQ calucations?

Thanks

Edit:
When I say, "the box" I am meaning within the bounds of the innermost left and right speakers so stereo imaging is not lost. In my case the front mains are the innermost.
