The MSC1 includes JBL’s acclaimed RMC Room Mode Correction technology that measures your room and tackles low frequency problems caused by room modes and boundary conditions. The MSC1 comes with everything needed to calibrate your system including a Calibration Mic, MSC1 Control Center Software*, and accessory cables. Calibration is simply carried out using the supplied microphone, MSC1 Control Center Software and your computer. Before measuring your room, Control Center meticulously measures the signal path of your audio system to set the stage for an accurate speaker calibration. Control Center Software guides you through every step. Once your system has been measured, re-calibration of your speakers is fast and easy and can be done at any time. After RMC calibration, the MSC1 works as a stand-alone controller and connection to a computer is not required.
MSC1 Control Center Software is a sophisticated software program that not only manages the RMC Room Mode Correction process, it also checks your computer audio signal path to ensure accurate calibration of your speaker system. Using flash animations, Control Center software walks you through each step of the process. Once your computer and audio interface have been measured, calibration of your speaker system is fast and can be easily repeated at any time.
