Audyssey MultEQ Editor app Reviews

I have a Denon AVR 3600. I tried seven times to complete just one calibration and was ultimately unsuccessful. Even when I left the microphone in the same position for all of the tests, it would eventually encounter a noise/speaker level error even though there were no differences from prior tests in an empty house with HVAC breaker turned off. If there was a perceived problem with one speaker reading during one position test, AudysseyMultEQEditorapp would show an error message and asked me to redo the test…but the test would never rerun and I got stuck every time without being able to get through all 8 test positions. I am extremely frustrated to have spent two hours trying to get this to work and not have one single room calibration from the effort.

Working on an iPad Mini 4, latest version of AudysseyMultEQEditorapp , latest version of firmware for my Denon AVR-X3300W. Creating a profile is an absolute breeze, everything works as expected. Lots of options for tweaking the configuration which is nice. It when it comes to actually using it, AudysseyMultEQEditorapp refuses to send the profile to the receiver. It shows up right away when I try but is grayed out and not selectable (though if I opt to create another curve it connects right away). Tried power cycling the receiver, factory reset on the receiver, erasing and re-downloading AudysseyMultEQEditorapp , switching between wired and wireless on the receiver, absolutely nothing works. Would have bothered me less but $20 for what amounts to a couple of pretty graphs with absolutely no utility whatsoever is asking FAR too much.

I’m running AudysseyMultEQEditorapp on an iPad Pro (3rd gen) and it interfaces with my Marantz AV7706 and runs through the calibration with No issues. I edit the file and change front speaker size from large to small and set crossovers. I load the file into the 7706, again without issue, and when I play Dolby Atmos content there is No sound from the back Dolby Atmos speakers. I tried several times with the same result, once using my iPhone 7S. The AVR will play sound through the rear Dolby Atmos speakers using the level test tone. Marantz technical support thought my AVR may be defective but had me do a factory reset and a quick manual setup and the rear Dolby Atmos speakers played beautifully. I now have calibrated the AVR with the preamp’s internal Audyssey software and the rear Dolby Atmos speakers play as they should. I’ve issued a support ticket with Marantz as I don’t know who supports AudysseyMultEQEditorapp. I’ve lost time, money and my patience and may pursue a refund. (HT is 7.1.4)

It was a struggle to get a proper 3 position reading with AudysseyMultEQEditorapp, let alone 6 positions. Here’s what I had to do get it to work: on the receiver (s760h) turn off dchp, set static ip, power off/on, leave mic disconnected. Using an iPad Pro for app, turn airplane mode on and use a usb-c to Ethernet adapter and then hard-wire to network. Start app and start new reading, app would find receiver, however I used manual ip lookup also to ensure it knew where the receiver was. From there proceeded to follow on screen instructions.

Even doing that it had one or two communication errors (2 or 11). Eventually able to capture one 3 position reading, and a second 6 position reading. It shouldn’t be this complicated and there’s definitely room for improvement. When it fails why have to start all the way over?

Have been using AudysseyMultEQEditorapp for over a year without a problem. Finally decided to pay someone to calibrate my HT using REW and the multieq app about two weeks ago. We went through all the REW steps and it came time to re run Audyssey using AudysseyMultEQEditorapp . Ram Audyssey just fine then went to send the file to the AVR (Marantz SR8012) and I got a “communication error 1”. Since that time I have attempted to send the file probably over a 100 times and keep getting the same error despite trying multiple devices to send the file, soft resetting and hard resetting the AVR, resetting the wireless network, spoke with Marantz customer service and they had no answers etc….. nothing seems to work. I’m guessing maybe the update to AudysseyMultEQEditorapp that was done 2 weeks ago is making something not work? For now AudysseyMultEQEditorapp is useless for me unfortunately.

It is nice to see the before and after on the room correction. It would be 5 stars for me if it had more “Target Sound Options” such as flat, x-curve (with different HF roll offs), the current curve, and maybe a custom curve option. Also, once the Audyssey settings has been applied, it would be great to be able to tweak it with a 32 band eq, maybe even 16 band would be ok. Doing this in real time would be a great plus!

Definitely AudysseyMultEQEditorapp has ups and downs, but after playing a while I have been able to get good results on my Denon X4300H. I wish AudysseyMultEQEditorapp could have more control, for example to have the ability to copy and apply some sound curves from one file to another, (like creating your own). Also been able to add more channels without to rerun Audyssey again, this will save time. I wish AudysseyMultEQEditorapp could also have a download center this could help a lot of people that don’t know to much about av receivers, and can let them download some files by model, brand and speaker configurations and apply it to their system for a quick test or a long run use. Come on guys, the possibilities are there and for $20 you can offer a lot more.

Please bring back the precision of the older Audyssey Pro in regards to modifying target house curves. Pulling-dragging is not nearly as accurate as being able to manually input multiple numbers (2000Hz -2 dB, 4000Hz -3 dB, 8000Hz -2.8 dB, etc) as could be done with Audyssey Pro. Also, please get rid of the ever present 20Hz high pass filter even on subs that can reach down lower in frequency. So many people pay lots of money for subs that can reach down into the teens or single digits at high SPL as verified by my own measuring equipment, and to then have Audyssey roll them off at 20Hz is a shame.

AudysseyMultEQEditorapp grants you the ability to see the measurements your mic made on a frequency response diagram, which for tuning is priceless. I love having the ability to create custom curves as well, since my speakers tend to be peaky in the bass. It is also good because I can choose the cutoff point for the EQ — for instance, if I only want to EQ 0-250Hz on a given speaker.

Unfortunately it is quite difficult to set tone curves because of how buggy the point creation feature is. This has since been improved with the October 2019 update. I also would wish to see a function to add speakers to an existing set instead of having to measure everything again.

I’m still very new to the use of Audyssey and owning this quality of Home Theater System my 1st system was a Bose lifestyle 16 and while I loved it then it was just plug and play not compatible with todays technology. So my recent upgrade to Denon and Klipsch 7.2.4 and getting the best possible sound has involved some learning. I must say I’m kinda enjoying the process now that I’m starting to understand it more. AudysseyMultEQEditorapp is a necessity if you want to use Audyssey that comes on your AVR. But this I know for sure since AudysseyMultEQEditorapp is owned and developed by Denon and Marantz. Not Audyssey itself they apparently only License it. But own this they certainly should offer it free to everyone who bought they’re products. I know it’s only $20 bucks but if it wasn’t necessary they wouldn’t have felt the need to buy the license and develop AudysseyMultEQEditorapp in fact Audyssey should be paying them back for improving they’re product’s so well that’s just my thought. Until they make it free though it’s a must so cough up the $20 bucks you’ll be glad you did.

I hesitated to spend $20 on an app, but this seems to provide a great deal of control. I haven’t a clue, yet, how to use it, so I’ll be looking for online tutorials. I expected to find an EQ or similar controls, as so many had suggested AudysseyMultEQEditorapp due to the lack of manual control while using Audyssey. I’m sure I can do this with the curves, but I’ll have to learn how.

On Nov 19 (it doesn’t say what year) “TOJOHNSO” posted a reviews here about the value used by Audyssey to calculate speaker distances. I was skeptical, but I used his math (multiply Audessey values by 0.875) in AudysseyMultEQEditorapp to change the calculated distances… what a difference it made! I run Tidal through WiiM Pro Plus with fixed volume, mono off, at 100% volume into stereo output and the change was very noticeable - much more depth and volume. After hearing this improvement, I grabbed a tape measure and entered actual distances for nominal additional improvement.

I’ve still got a lot to learn about adjusting curves, but I recommend starting with this adjustment… which can be done without AudysseyMultEQEditorapp .

Previously I thought I wasted $20 since I get a FR speaker phase error every time and thought it couldn’t be bypassed in AudysseyMultEQEditorapp. If using a small screen (I have an iPhone XS) it is very difficult to see but you can scroll down to show the third button “Ignore.” Also, on a small screen most of the menus are almost unreadable so you have to open each on to see what it is, hence the 1-star deduction. Hopefully this will be fixed in the future but if you’re using a larger screen you probably won’t have these issues. AudysseyMultEQEditorapp is very powerful if you know what you’re looking at but it takes some homework to understand. Tip: After switching to speaker preset 2, I had to run Audyssey in the receiver first (at least positions 1-3) before AudysseyMultEQEditorapp could see the correct speaker config. I finally am homing in on the sound I’m looking for...close to bliss. Receiver: AVR-X6700H; Front: DefTech BP9040; Device: iPhone XS

Easy to use and the ability to tailor the sub curve to provide gentle right to left lift in lower frequencies, without simply increasing sub trim, justifies AudysseyMultEQEditorapp .

Previous reported bugs have been fixed, like ability to ‘ignore’ phase error messages (in my case I have dipole surrounds which AudysseyMultEQEditorapp analyzer interprets as a phase issue, but I get the opportunity to ignore the error message and keep going).

I would like to see an upgrade to allow follow up measurement with Eq in place and to allow minor tweaking thereafter. In order to confirm the actual Eq impact (apart from using your ears), it is still necessary to use an independent measuring tool which requires purchasing an additional calibrated mic.

I own a Denon X4300h, preceded by the X3300w and never knew the power of these receivers until I purchased and ran AudysseyMultEQEditorapp. OMG, my speakers came alive. Now I can actually feel the presence of my front speakers and the center channel with effects of how movies are supposed to sound, lifelike and pure, my surrounds startling me during action movie scenes. I love how I can edit the parameters of the readings of my rooms that audyssey put out and gradually refine the sound. AudysseyMultEQEditorapp is a must if you want to get the most out of your HT. I should have purchased this longtime ago, but better late than never.

Just awesome to be able to balance my setup, really enhance clarity and smooth out problems. $20 well spent, literally hours of fun. If you are wondering why spend the extra when the receiver has the same thing? From my pov you can make the most of your space and customize way beyond the one size fits all flat response. Even helps bridge the gap between home theater and music. Yes, AudysseyMultEQEditorapp is spartan in terms of educating if you are just staring out and the UX really needs some love. There could be an array of target curves to help become familiar with how a change impacts what you hear. Perhaps it could suggest solutions if you have a specific problem. Most of all it treats each speaker pair in isolation instead of treating them as a whole system, but you can still get to a happy place with a bit of trial and error. 5 stars because of what you can achieve, but I hope the developer understands that they haven’t done anyone any favors with the user experience. These is so much potential for a much better in app experience.

AudysseyMultEQEditorapp used to be great in the past. It allowed you to send files to your receiver and to your computer as well as receive file that you have previously stored on your computer into AudysseyMultEQEditorapp so you can load it into your receiver or AV for whatever, they remove the ability to receive files from the computer, which is really frustrating. Additionally after the last update that I did all previous files that I had saved in AudysseyMultEQEditorapp disappeared highly disappointed in AudysseyMultEQEditorapp.

In years past, when amps had bass|midrange|high tone controls, one could dial up tone to suit. Now with Audyssey taking a profile of the room, it’s suppose to equalize better. But as many have noted, it does roll off the highs by default. And the overall results may not suit your tastes. AudysseyMultEQEditorapp allows you to customize those curves. That alone makes AudysseyMultEQEditorapp worth it!

I thought I was missing the high end response I knew my speakers were capable of, and I was right. But if you wanted to use Audyssey to profile the room, you were more or less stuck with the results. AudysseyMultEQEditorapp gives you the ability to see the resulting curves and modify to suit. You can also decide to set an upper limit to each curve if you don’t want it messing with the high end.

I’m satisfied with the results. Using tone controls on amps of old may have been easier, but this is more precise. Kudos to AudysseyMultEQEditorapp which allows one to adjust the results. In my case, I now have restored my high end frequencies without messing with the nice room EQ profile.

This editing app works as described with my Denon AVR S960H. Being able to see the “Before” room correction graphs allowed me to decide which speakers to keep or remove the midrange compensation by the speakers native dip around the 2khz range. I could also use the curve editor to give a slight bump in the dual subwoofer’s 25-50hz range to add just a little more punch to the deep frequencies. Being my living room isn’t the most optimum for speaker placement, I let the EQ Frequency Range setting edit the room correction at full 20-20,000hz range, rather than cutting it off near the 500hz range like many do. Using AudysseyMultEQEditorapp rather than the one built into the AVR has made a noticeable difference in sound quality, and was worth the reasonable cost. It was almost like removing a blanket off the speakers.

UPDATE: went from 2 stars up to 5 stars! AudysseyMultEQEditorapp works every time and loads every graph now. The FIR filters that Audessey uses sound fantastic. A little slow still, but it seems that they are invested in keeping AudysseyMultEQEditorapp around. I can’t imaging buying another receiver that doesn’t support AudysseyMultEQEditorapp!

After updating the firmware on the receiver, it took several attempts to get all the way through the setup. It finally did and sounds nice, but editing a custom curve is very clunky; and it doesn't load the graphs for all speakers. Also, it doesn't take a measurement post-eq which means the "after" that it shows you is merely a prediction.

The ENTIRE reason I bought this receiver was for the feature of AudysseyMultEQEditorapp, as I am an audio engineer and speaker designer. So, it worked…ish. I can't believe it costs $20 for how unfinished it feels, though. The interface looks nice and will be great once they get it to function. Lots of programming to do still, fellas.

Just got a brand new Denon 1700 AVR and despite running the original MultEQ setup the sound was muffled and lacked good sound. This is a system with Paradigm speakers, so I knew right away it was something in the setup of the AVR. Lots of research brought me to AudysseyMultEQEditorapp-well worth the 20 bucks and it worked flawlessly for me. Not sure why it’s buggy on other peoples phones but it worked right out of the gate for me. The better comment is WOW I had no idea that moving a few curves around and adjusting some settings in AudysseyMultEQEditorapp would make my system sound COMPLETELY different. It’s amazing how the clarity and spatial sound is back in my system. It works, period.
