    1. This document provides instructions for setting up room equalization on the C390DD audio system using its built-in EQ features and a USB memory stick containing test tones. 2. The process involves adjusting the volume level at set frequencies between 240Hz and 40Hz using an SPL meter to achieve a consistent 80dB reading from the listening position. 3. Test sweeps are then played to verify the adjustments and finalize the room EQ setup. Tweaks can be made to the EQ settings using narrow or wide filters if needed.

    1. Click on the link for the C390DD_upgrade_20120920.zip and save the files to your Desktop.

    2. Extract the contents of the zip file c390m.hex, c390u.hex and c390h.hex directly to a USB
    memory stick in the root directory that has at least 1MB of free memory space.

    3. Turn OFF the power using the power switch on the rear panel.

    4. Connect the USB memory stick (with all three HEX files) to the front panel USB input.

    5. Press and hold the front panel power button. While holding down, switch ON the unit from the
    rear panel power switch. Release the power button once the VFD displays Updating.

    6. When the update is complete, the unit will automatically go into standby mode.

    7. Optional Factory reset: Press and hold the front panel [< SOURCE] and [SOURCE >] buttons
    together until the VFD displays Factory Reset.

    * PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL YOUR PREVIOUS SETTINGS WILL BE LOST WHEN FACTORY
    RESET IS PERFORMED. Please make note of your C390DD settings before proceeding.

    C390DD Room Equalization (EQ) Setup


    This is accomplished with your own listening to make adjustments, but a Sound Pressure Level (SPL)
    Meter is recommended. This can be a traditional SPL meter or an apps available on smartphones. The
    NAD AVR 4 remote included with the product is also required for this EQ setup.


    Using a USB memory stick with at least 8MB of free space, download and extract the 8 audio (FLAC)
    files provided, into the root directory of the USB stick. Turn on the unit from the front panel and insert the
    memory stick into the USB input. Note the setup should be performed from the optimum listening position
    within the room.
    Press and hold the EQ button for 3 seconds, and it will switch to Room EQ Setup mode. The tone
    sweep will commence and cycle between 240Hz and 1KHz. Set the master volume of the C 390DD to
    reach an SPL reading of 80dB at the listening position. Using the UP and DOWN curser keys
    on the remote, adjust the volume level at these two frequencies. Continue this process, adjusting the
    Level for 180Hz, 120Hz, 90Hz, 60Hz and 40Hz. If you wish to replay a tone, use the skip
    buttons on the remote, or pause and play , to move through the frequencies.
    After the last frequency setting is complete, the display will read Equalization Room EQ.

    There will then be three sweep files that will playback at the adjusted levels, the first file is a long sweep,
    followed by two short sweep files. Each sweep file will begin with a 1KHz tone, followed by playing
    through each preset frequency back to back without the 1KHz tone in between. Ensure your sound
    pressure level reading is the same at each of the frequencies. Once the last sweep file is complete, the
    Room EQ setup is finished, and the VFD will display Room EQ Setup Completed.


    Setting the EQ

    The Narrow and Wide selection refers to the slope of the filter. Narrow affects a short range of
    frequencies centered on the selected frequency. Wide affects a broader range of frequencies and
    affects the adjacent frequencies. Which one to use depends on the room resonance and personal
    preference.

    The objective of this Room Equalization Setup is to try and subtract standing waves or Room Boom, we
    are not trying to add more bass response to speakers that lack deep bass extension. Most speaker and
    room combinations usually have a roll off between 60Hz or 40Hz. What Room EQ will accomplish is the
    unmasking of lower frequencies. Bass will now sound tighter and better defined. The Pitch of the
    bass notes should be clearer after the equalization. Dont be surprised if most frequencies do not require
    any adjustment. There are usually only one or two frequencies where standing waves occur for a given
    room.

    If at a later time you move the positions of either the speakers or the listening chair, you will have to
    perform the test again as this could change the standing wave pattern.
