NEXT A TARGET CURVE MUST BE CHOSEN

Because loudspeaker designers assume that their products will be used in 

typical domestic rooms, they are ‘voiced’ to work in this environment. It is 

assumed that the room will add some bass reinforcement and will absorb 

some treble energy. Thus if we effectively ‘remove the walls with room 

correction, and set the speakers for flat response, you may find this sounds 

too bright in the treble and too weak in the bass region.

NAD engineers have done extensive research in this area of room acoustics, 

and along with Audyssey engineers developed what we believe is the ideal 

‘in room’ response curve. We include this NAD EQ, along with an Audyssey 

developed EQ as the two best choices. The response curves shown below 

typify NAD EQ room correction process.

Corrected Room Response

Flat EQ is a third option, but not one that we recommend for listening 

(it is useful for verifying system performance when using external 

instrumentation).

Select the Target Curve you find to be most satisfactory by pressing the 

Audyssey key of the remote.  The MultEQ XT corrected response can also be 

bypassed if you wish. 

It is recommended that you take full advantage of the T 785’s Audyssey 

Auto Calibration feature for your speaker setup. However, if you desire to 

setup your speakers manually or if you already had run Audyssey Auto 

Calibration but would like to make adjustments, the following sections on 

Speaker Configuration, Speaker Levels and Speaker Distance can also be 

followed and implemented. 

NOTE

During manual setting of your speakers, previously calibrated 

Audyssey settings could be retrieved by re-adjusting back the altered 

configurations as highlighted by an asterisk.
