Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for detecting loudspeaker connection errors and positioning errors during calibration of a multichannel audio system to which a plurality of loudspeakers is connected. Within a calibration process of a multichannel audio system, the loudspeaker whose angle is to be measured is identified by emitting a test tone ( 451 ) and verifying ( 460 ) the conformance between angles measured and a range of acceptable angles for each loudspeaker. A positioning error is detected when the measured angle is not included in the range of acceptable angles but in the range of acceptable angles of the closest speaker. A connection error is detected when the measured angle is very different from the range of acceptable angles. In case of errors, a recommendation is expressed ( 470 ) to the user in order to make the appropriate corrections. A calibration device ( 100 ) and an audio processing device ( 120 ) implementing the method are disclosed.

Claim (Index 11):
The calibration device according to  claim 8  wherein the processor is further configured to provide at least one of the azimuth and elevation angles to the processor of the audio processing device configured to verify that the measured angles are comprised in a range of acceptable values for the loudspeaker, and in case at least one measured angle is outside the range of acceptable values for the loudspeaker, notify a user of an error.
