Is the supplied Denon microphone calibrated?
Yes, the Denon microphone is calibrated to a ΒΌ industry-standard measurement microphone. The correction is applied to the measurements as they are being taken. It is important to use ONLY the microphone that comes with the Denon A/V receiver, as the calibration curve built-in to the receiver is specific to that microphone. It is also critical to point the microphone upwards and to place it at ear height. Any other microphone will have different characteristics and thus will not produce the right results. Denon offers (2) different models of microphones, the DM-S305 (AVR-5805/4806) and DM-S205 (all othe AVRs featuring Auto Setup and Room EQ) microphones have different calibration curves and are NOT interchangeable.
