Abstract
Example techniques for calibrating a metering device are disclosed. An example method comprises: (a) capturing, via a first microphone, audio content from a media presentation device; (b) generating a first set of fingerprints; (c) transmitting the first set of fingerprints; (d) receiving a first correlation rate, wherein the first correlation rate indicates correlation between the first set of fingerprints and a first set of reference fingerprints; (e) capturing, via a second microphone, the audio content; (f) generating a second set of fingerprints; (g) transmitting the second set of fingerprints; (h) receiving a second correlation rate, wherein the second correlation rate indicates correlation between the second set of fingerprints and a second set of reference fingerprints; (i) determining that the second correlation rate is greater than the first correlation rate; and (j) based on determining that the second correlation rate is greater, stopping capturing the audio content by the first microphone.
