Example techniques relate to audio playback device calibration. Example playback devices described herein may utilize one or more techniques for calibration, which may be implemented as various calibration procedures. In some implementations, the example media playback system may support multiple types of calibration, perhaps with different calibration procedures being used for different types of playback devices (e.g., with different capabilities) or in different situations (e.g., with or without user involvement).

Calibration of audio playback devices

Embodiments disclosed herein include playback devices configured to operate in one or more playback configurations including configurations individual playback devices play back one or more corresponding channels of multichannel audio content. An audio parameter can be determined based on a distance between playback devices. In some examples, the audio parameter comprises a filter such as a low frequency filter that varies based on at least the distance between the playback devices. After the audio parameter is determined, the playback devices can play back audio content according to the determined audio parameter.
