A calibration system for calibrating multi-channel sound systems. The
calibration system includes a method for calibrating a sound system that
includes a plurality of loudspeakers. The method includes steps of mapping
the plurality of loudspeakers into a virtual loudspeaker system
representation displayable to a user, activating at least one calibration
function that creates a calibration signal that is reproduced by one or
more of the plurality of loudspeakers to produce a calibration sound
perceivable by the user, modifying the virtual loudspeaker system
representation to include a virtual calibration indicator that indicates a
characteristic of the calibration signal, and adjusting the virtual
calibration indicator based on a user input, wherein when the virtual
calibration indicator is adjusted, a corresponding adjustment is made to
the characteristic of the calibration signal until a selected calibration
sound is achieved.
