Main commands
Session
Save your work to resume it later: the session file keeps the settings, the measurement state and the filter banks. The measurements themselves live in REW β save them there as a .mdat file and reload it before importing the session.
Carried inside the session file β useful when someone calibrates for someone else.

Connect the bridge and register your AVR to see its configuration.

Room Curve:
Get your measurements into REW
Two ways to get there, and they end the same: your measurements loaded in REW. Let the bridge measure them for you, or import a file you already have.
Audyssey Measurement
The bridge drives the amplifier: it plays the Audyssey sweeps on every speaker and RCH imports each impulse response into REW. Place the microphone at ear height at the listening position before each measurement.
Session state:
Import a measurement file
Already measured with the Audyssey MultEQ Editor app (.ady), MultEQ-X (.mqx) or Dirac Live (.liveproject)? RCH rebuilds every impulse response of the file and loads them into REW. These files carry measurements only: the configuration stays the one of the connected AVR.
Measurement session
Next position:
Position 1 measures the full detected channel plan (detection pass) β channel selection applies from position 2.
Channels to measure
When all positions are measured, complete the session and save your measurements as a .mdat file in REW (File > Save all measurements).
Subwoofer level matching
Adjust the gain knob of the subwoofer until the live SPL reads about 75 dB, then stop.

Sub alignment with speaker
Align "LFE predicted" and all individual subs measurements with selected channel, the speaker must have a filter computed

Finalization

Audyssey options
Audyssey filter banks (Reference / Flat)
One bank is saved: only change the target curve, recompute the filters, then save the other bank (delays/gains/crossovers must stay identical).
