Master Set


The following two links will help anyone trying to do Master Set speaker placement. Post #2 in the first link is the actual Sumiko method described in great detail. Follow everything exactly as described! The audio cues can be difficult to pick up at first. Be persistent.
The you tube video is good for newcomers to watch. The guy in the video describes a lot of things you will encounter while going thru the procedure.

Dear mofimadness,
The term Master Set, as coined by Rod Tomson, has been around for nearly 20 years. Many of the posts about how to do it were written by me, and reflected my own understanding and efforts to do it.
What I posted yesterday is the nearest to the original Sumiko procedure, and seemed to me much like Rod originally explained to me many years ago.
For years, those who attended the Sumiko seminars and classes were sworn to secrecy about the whole thing. Thus, it was never posted anywhere.
What I posted yesterday differs enough from my posts to make it worth posting, and it works better.
Also, there previously had been no dedicated thread to Master Set. Posts have always been in some other thread, found through searches. I thought that the original Sumiko procedure deserved it's own thread.
Mofi, All Good!!!
Btw, did you once work for Rod? If so, I might even know you. I came in to the store a lot when it was on Evans. I lived in western Wyoming at the time, so it was a bit of a trip.
Hi mofi, I've known Rod since 1994. He got all my spare money for nearly 10 years. Now I live in Australia and haven't been to Denver for a long time. So, since you know more about the procedure than me, is my depiction of the audioaficinado post accurate?

Master Set is for setting the speakers only so turn the subwoofer OFF when doing it. You then reintegrate the subwoofer after setting the speakers.
