![Screenshot of a dark-themed audio app titled "Multi-listener optimizer" for whole-room speaker balance. The left control panel has orange sliders for optimization goals (clarity/treble 55, imaging 30, reflection control 20, bass smoothness 5), listener-priority settings, toggles, an "Optimize placement" button, and manual install fine-tuning controls. The center shows a 3D isometric room with two tower speakers, a TV, an L-shaped couch, and other seating, overlaid with a green-to-orange treble-coverage map on the floor and orange aim lines from the speakers. The right "Result" panel shows an overall balance score of 63, with per-seat scores (TV-centered 80, cushion·center 85, bean-bag 53, etc.) and install measurements.
