The objective here is to set the volume to the appropriate levels for testing. My system has five main speakers and three subs (as shown). If you have a sub, it will appear to the right of those. For stereo, there will only be Left and Right. Volume Calibration: This screen (fig.1) displays icons for all your active speakers across the top. You can also use an analog measurement microphone, but you'll need to supply the necessary hardware, including, for most such microphones, a mike pre with phantom power. The most common and inexpensive is the miniDSP UMIK-1. Any USB measurement mike will do as long as it comes with a correction curve file, preferably for a vertical (90°) orientation. Select Recording Device: Select a microphone and load its correction file. Click on itmost users will have only oneand proceed to the subsequent menu options. The software then verifies your Dirac account (with account information you provided at purchase) and scans the system for your Dirac Processor. Start the Dirac Live program, and it opens with a big Dirac Live 3 logo (yeah, I know).

Select some music and, while it is playing, download and install Dirac Live.
