It falls within the category of Digital Room Correction algorithms. There is a big debate around DRC technology. Most highly-regarded systems on the market state they can turn “any” installation into a perfect listening room using advanced DSP techniques . Simply they can’t. Quoting  the eminent Dr. Floyd Toole…”Sorry, but a small omni mic and an analyzer are not the equivalent of two ears and a brain“. We absolutely agree and want to to make this clear…in the absence of comprehensive anechoic data on the loudspeakers, any blind auto equalization process may improve or may deteriorate the performance. Said that, there are situations where DRC techniques may help to cut tuning time dramatically.

PERCEPT can be summarized as a process that involves collecting data about the acoustic space, analysing such information and finally generating a set of filters to correct the response. It’s important to note that a DRC solution usually allows for manual refinement (i.e. personalised target curves), so the term “system calibration” isn’t really appropriate: a subjective judgment based on a specific piece of audio can’t be said to be a generic solution.
