• Primary measurement at driver’s ear position; additional measurements for passenger seats or averaged multi-point correction if supported.

1. Place the mic at the driver’s headrest (the "sweet spot").
2. Press "Measure" on the RUX-C800 or PC software.
3. The system plays pink noise through each speaker sequentially (Left tweeter, Left mid, Left woofer, Right tweeter, etc.).
4. The software analyzes the phase, delay, and frequency response.
5. The Result: The PXA-H800 automatically calculates crossover slopes, time alignment, and a base 31-band graphic EQ curve.
