I just got the 990 last week... I was able to set it up over the weekend.
I set up the 990 w/ the microphone, and for the most part, everything matched up w/ the SPL meter and tape measure...
My subwoofer (Sunfire) is physically 14' from the microphone. The 990 keeps placing it at 25'.
I've listened to the system at both settings, and the 25' setting actually sounds better. The only thing I can possibly attribute this to is the phase control. I have it about 35 degrees out of phase (tried to match the maggies).
Has anyone else seen this?
