How to calibrate the Remotes' sensors

Modified on Tue, 16 Jun at 3:47 PM

Every time you take the Remotes out of the Receiver, their internal sensors calibrate automatically. This step ensures accurate tracking. Here is what happens and what you need to do.


Automatic calibration (every session)

  1. Take the Remotes out of the Receiver and place them on a flat, still surface, ideally directly on the turntable platter with the magnetic sticker in place.
  2. The LED strip will animate up and down while the sensors find their zero point. Keep the Remotes completely still during this process.
  3. When the LED turns solid, calibration is complete and the Remotes are ready to use.

Do not move the Remotes while the LEDs are still animated.
Even a small movement can affect accuracy during the session.



Manual calibration (optional)

The manual calibration in Phase Manager is a separate feature. It is only needed if you notice a difference between your turntable's physical pitch and the pitch value shown in your DJ software.

To run it:

  1. Open Phase Manager and go to Settings > Calibration.
  2. Place the Remotes on the spinning turntables with the pitch slider at exactly 0%.
  3. Click Start and follow the on-screen instructions.

For the manual calibration to succeed:

  • Remotes must be linked to the Receiver (long-press A & B buttons)
  • Internal sensor calibration must be complete (LEDs are solid) before you start.
  • RPM setting in Phase Manager must match your turntable's setting (33, 45, or 78 RPM).
  • Pitch sliders must be at exactly +/- 0 on both turntables.

If you get an error message, unplug Phase, quit Phase Manager, plug it back in, launch Phase Manager, take the Remotes out, spin the platters, and try again.



FAQ

How often do I need to run manual calibration?

Only when you notice a pitch or BPM discrepancy between Phase and your software. You do not need to do it every session.

Can I use the double-tap calibration feature?

It is available in Settings > Calibration, but we recommend leaving it off. Vibrations from bass or platters can accidentally trigger it mid-set.
