There's no sound reason(intended)to assume that a manual calibration will be more accurate(or even as accurate)than what the 3805 has done.



Actually, I've found that my 3805 and mic do a very good job for channel levels and speaker distances, but doesn't seem to be succesful at all in EQing the room. I've heard many others say the same, though I certainly don't trust the RS meter to be terribly accurate either!

Sometimes, 'ya just gotta trust your ears and do what sounds best to YOU!
