The auto setup is pretty much worthless. It does not include any time windowing and will include all the reflections, room noise, additions and cancellations in the measurement and will boost without regard trying to make whatever the timeblind mic sees.

The ONLY way it is of any good is to take the system outside-get it up in the air (say 20') and away from any reflective surfaces (including whatevery you have it suspended on), and make sure the level is high enough to be at least 20dB higher than all surrounding noise and have the mic on axis 2-3M away.

Then you can let it eq the system. Store that.

Of course everytime you go into a room, there may be smoe issues that you need to deal with, so add that on top of the already stored auto eq.

DO NOT re auto eq in the room.

Of course that is not the proper way, but the proper way has a big learning curve and can get expensive.
