Calibration assistance

A method comprising:

• causing a mobile device to display of one or more spatial calibration interfaces comprising a guide to perform a spatial calibration component of a calibration sequence, wherein the spatial calibration component involves calibration of a sound bar-type playback device for a particular location within an environment;
• causing the mobile device to display one or more spectral calibration interfaces comprising a guide to perform a spectral calibration component of the calibration sequence, wherein the spectral calibration component involves calibration of the sound bar-type playback device for the environment;
• during the spatial calibration component of the calibration sequence, causing the mobile device to record, via one or more microphones, first audio output of the sound bar-type playback device while the mobile device is at the particular location;
• during the spectral calibration component of the calibration sequence, causing the mobile device to record, via the one or more microphones, second audio output of the sound bar-type playback device while the mobile device is in motion through the environment;
• and
• causing determination of a calibration for the sound bar-type playback device, the calibration comprising a spatial calibration that is based on the recorded first audio output and a spectral calibration that is based on the recorded second audio output.

A system comprising a computing device and a sound-bar type playback device, the system comprising:

• a communications interface;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the system is configured to:
• cause a mobile device to display of one or more spatial calibration interfaces comprising a guide to perform a spatial calibration component of a calibration sequence, wherein the spatial calibration component involves calibration of a sound bar-type playback device for a particular location within an environment;
• cause the mobile device to display one or more spectral calibration interfaces comprising a guide to perform a spectral calibration component of the calibration sequence, wherein the spectral calibration component involves calibration of the sound bar-type playback device for the environment;
• during the spatial calibration component of the calibration sequence, cause the mobile device to record, via one or more microphones, first audio output of the sound bar-type playback device while the mobile device is at the particular location;
• during the spectral calibration component of the calibration sequence, cause the mobile device to record, via the one or more microphones, second audio output of the sound bar-type playback device while the mobile device is in motion through the environment;
• and
• cause determination of a calibration for the sound bar-type playback device, the calibration comprising a spatial calibration that is based on the recorded first audio output and a spectral calibration that is based on the recorded second audio output.
