Audyssey MultEQ Editor app

Review by eFreeware

Audyssey MultEQ Editor is a paid Android app that goes past the automatic room calibration built into many Denon and Marantz AV receivers. Instead of accepting what the receiver decides, you can open the results, look at what the system measured, and change how the correction is applied. That is a narrow brief, and it is the whole point: this is a tool for people who already own one of the supported receivers and want to tune it themselves.

It costs $19.99, carries no ads and offers no in-app purchases, so the price you see is the price you pay. The app has been available since April 2017 and was updated in August 2026 with support for new 2026 models, along with stability and bug fixes. Over 50,000 installs and a 2.7 average from 1,526 ratings suggest a divided audience, which is worth keeping in mind before you buy.

Reading the room before you change anything

The first job the app handles is inspection. It shows the speaker detection results from the Audyssey calibration, so you can confirm that every speaker in the system was found and identified correctly. If a surround or height channel was missed during setup, that shows up here rather than in a vague sense that something sounds off.

It also presents the before and after results of the calibration side by side, which makes the effect of the correction easier to see. Rather than guessing why a room sounds boomy or thin, you can look at the measured response and spot the problem areas. For anyone who has run Audyssey and wondered what it actually did, this is the part that answers the question.

I would expect this to appeal most to people who like to understand their system rather than treat it as a black box. The app gives you the measurements in a form you can act on, and the rest of its tools exist to let you act on them.

Shaping the sound to your own taste

The editing side is where the app earns its keep. You can modify the Audyssey target curve for each channel pair, which is the reference the correction aims at, so the final result can lean warmer, brighter or flatter depending on what you prefer. Because it works per pair, the front left and right can be treated differently from the surrounds if the room calls for it.

There is also an overall EQ frequency rolloff adjustment for each channel pair, and a choice between two high frequency rolloff target curves. These are the controls that decide how much correction is applied at the top end, which matters in rooms with hard surfaces or speakers that already sound lively.

Midrange compensation can be switched on or off, and the developer describes the effect as making the sound brighter or smoother. That single toggle is often the difference between a presentation that feels forward and one that feels relaxed. None of this is automatic; the app hands you the controls and leaves the judgment to you.

Once you have a result you like, the app can save and load calibration results. That makes it practical to keep a known-good setup on hand, try an alternative, and return to the first one without starting over.

What you need before you buy

This is not an app you can install and evaluate on its own. It requires specific hardware in your receiver to function, and the developer asks buyers to check the supported model list before purchasing. The list covers a long run of Denon AV receivers, from the AVR-X1300W and AVR-S720W through to the AVR-A10H and AVR-X3900H, and a similarly broad set of Marantz models including the AV7703, AV8805, NR1607 and the CINEMA series.

The app is not compatible with Denon and Marantz models outside that list, so the model number on the front of your receiver is the first thing to confirm. If it is not there, the app has nothing to work with.

On the phone side, the requirements are modest but specific. You need Android 5.0 or higher, at least 2GB of RAM, and one of the supported screen resolutions: 800x480, 854x480, 960x540, 1280x720, 1280x800, 1920x1080, 1920x1200 or 2048x1536. QVGA and HVGA screens are not supported, and neither are devices with less than 2GB of RAM. The developer notes that compatibility with all Android devices is not guaranteed, though a set of confirmed devices is listed, including the Samsung Galaxy S10, several Google Pixel models and the 2013 Nexus 7.

The interface is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Russian, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. The app detects your operating system language and falls back to English when your language is not among them.

A tool for owners of specific receivers

The audience here is well defined. You need a supported Denon or Marantz AV receiver, a willingness to spend $19.99 on an app, and enough interest in room correction to want to adjust target curves and rolloff rather than accept the defaults. If you have already run Audyssey and found the result slightly too bright, slightly too dull, or uneven between channels, the editing tools address exactly that.

It also suits people who move furniture, change speakers or rearrange a room and want to re-examine the calibration without guessing. Being able to save and reload results means you can keep a reference point while you experiment.

Checking compatibility first is the sensible move, and the price is high enough that it is worth doing before rather than after.

The case for paying for control

Audyssey MultEQ Editor is a specialist purchase, and it is priced like one. For $19.99 you get a set of tools that expose the calibration on a supported receiver: speaker detection results, before and after measurements, per-pair target curves, rolloff adjustments, the high frequency curve choice, midrange compensation and saved setups. There are no ads and no in-app purchases to work around.

The limits are built into the concept. The recent update added support for 2026 models and addressed stability, which suggests the app is being kept current for the receivers it covers.

If your receiver is on the list and you want to shape how Audyssey corrects your room rather than live with whatever it chose, this is the tool for the job. If your model is not listed, the app cannot help you, and the compatibility check should come before the purchase.
