New Dolby Atmos processor. Poor sound quality


I have just bought a new Dolby Atmos processor. Rather expensive . Launched recently.
And I hate the sound.
l have been used to  Bass and Treble tuning
The unit has for each of the 14 channels  : Frequency-Bandwidht-Gain-Crossover- Polarity.
I do not understand anything about that.
It doest not come with EQ Auto Corrector tuning. There will be an upgrade availlable in a few months ,at an extra cost of 2500$. It must be done by an autorised dealer.

Is it possible to make adjustement by myself to change the sound.
Or should I hire a audio tecnician .
l am from Canada and I have bought the processor directly from the US manufacturer. They do not have dealers in Canada. So , l can’t go and talk to my dealer as it should normaly be done.

Thanks

p.s.  This is a interview about tuning adjusment .

Nearly every custom project I’ve ever dealt with was based on the reality that the folks who are paying for these systems don’t have the time or inclination to learn all about custom install. They simply and rightly expect a reliable setup that functions flawlessly, is bulletproof, easily controlled and whose performance screams value and money well spent. This is why the recent push for do-it-yourself smart home products baffled me, because it goes against the grain of the true value-add that an excellent integrator brings to the scene. Even the simplest do-it-yourself setup is too complicated for most of the customers I’ve dealt with. Whether it is Nest, Sonos or Harmony remote controls, my clients could never be bothered with anything more than basic instructions involving as few button pushes as possible.

Thanks a lot, auxinput.
the sound is very bright and very harch.
No matter the source, power cord, audio mode. Even in stereo mode
( two channel ) the sound is very .unpleasant.

l am going to follow your advice, take some time, calm down.
After all , there are worst things in life.

I appreciate your effort for my case


bright/harsh can definitely be a characteristic of new equipment.  After burn-in it should settle down a lot.
d2girls - 

Auto room correction varies a great deal in quality. For the best results you need to take multiple measurements so you get a good average. 

Bass modes in particular are poorly treated by an eq with a single mic reading.  For this, you need bass traps and multiple location measurements. Actually, room treatment always helps and often helps EQ work better. :) 

Best,

can someone explain to me why whenver I ran any sort of EQ, it just made my listening sweet spot smaller, and the bass really messed up if you stood up? sort of like it applied some kind of effect where the bass was really loud as if my head was at the back of the room.
@d2girls - this is pretty much the same experience I had when I was trying to get Dirac room control setup.  It does funny things to the phasing and frequency response so that the audio sounds like it's in your head instead of way out in front of you.  Some of these room correction systems try to affect phasing because they are trying to fight room nodes or first reflections.  The end result can be poor audio quality.
