Methods, systems, and devices for metering device calibration

A tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform a set of operations comprising:

• capturing, via a first microphone of a plurality of microphones of a metering device, audio content from a media presentation device, wherein the first microphone is associated with a first orientation;
• based on the audio content captured by the first microphone, generating, by the metering device, a first set of fingerprints;
• transmitting, by the metering device, the first set of fingerprints to a computing device;
• capturing, via a second microphone of the plurality of microphones of the metering device, the audio content, wherein the second microphone is associated with a second orientation;
• based on the audio content captured by the second microphone, generating, by the metering device, a second set of fingerprints;
• transmitting, by the metering device, the second set of fingerprints to the computing device;
• receiving, from the computing device, an indication that a second correlation rate is greater than a first correlation rate, wherein the first correlation rate indicates correlation between the first set of fingerprints and a first set of reference fingerprints stored in a reference fingerprint library, wherein the second correlation rate indicates correlation between the second set of fingerprints and a second set of reference fingerprints stored in the reference fingerprint library, wherein the indication that the second correlation rate is greater than the first correlation rate is determined by the computing device;
• and
• based on determining that the second correlation rate is greater, stopping, by the metering device, capturing the audio content by the first microphone.
