1. A first playback device comprising:
- a wireless communication interface;
a speaker driver;
one or more processors; and
tangible, non-transitory computer-readable memory having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the first playback device to perform a method comprising;
receiving, from a second playback device via the wireless communication interface, an indication of an acoustic characteristic of the second playback device that comprises an orientation of the second playback device with respect to an axis of a sensor of the second playback device;
after receiving the indication of the acoustic characteristic, determining a crossover frequency of the first playback device and the second playback device based at least in part on the received indication of the acoustic characteristic;
after determining the crossover frequency, outputting, in synchronization with the second playback device via the speaker driver, a series of tones;
after outputting the series of tones, receiving, from a controller device via the wireless communication interface, an indication of a selected tone set from the series of tones; and
setting a phase of the first playback device based at least in part on the received indication of the selected tone set.

Abstract
An indication of an acoustic characteristic of a playback device may comprise an orientation of the playback device with respect to an axis of a sensor of the playback device. After receiving the indication of the acoustic characteristic, a crossover frequency of the playback device may be determined and a series of tones may be output. A phase may be set based at least in part on a received indication of a selected tone set from the series of tones.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a first playback device from a second playback device via a wireless communication interface, an indication of an acoustic characteristic of the second playback device that comprises an orientation of the second playback device with respect to an axis of a sensor of the second playback device; after receiving the indication of the acoustic characteristic, determining a crossover frequency of the first playback device and the second playback device based at least in part on the received indication of the acoustic characteristic; after determining the crossover frequency, outputting, in synchronization with the second playback device via a speaker driver, a series of tones; after outputting the series of tones, receiving, from a controller device via the wireless communication interface, an indication of a selected tone set from the series of tones; and setting a phase of the first playback device based at least in part on the received indication of the selected tone set. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions for execution by a processor, the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to implement a method comprising:
-
receiving, by a first playback device from a second playback device via a wireless communication interface, an indication of an acoustic characteristic of the second playback device that comprises an orientation of the second playback device with respect to an axis of a sensor of the second playback device; after receiving the indication of the acoustic characteristic, determining a crossover frequency of the first playback device and the second playback device based at least in part on the received indication of the acoustic characteristic; after determining the crossover frequency, outputting, in synchronization with the second playback device via a speaker driver, a series of tones; after outputting the series of tones, receiving, from a controller device via the wireless communication interface, an indication of a selected tone set from the series of tones; and setting a phase of the first playback device based at least in part on the received indication of the selected tone set. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
