Abstract

A speaker adjustment method for adjusting a plurality of speakers is provided. The speaker adjustment method includes the following steps: respectively obtaining a plurality of frequency responses of the plurality of speakers by using one microphone; obtaining distance information between the microphone and the plurality of speakers; and adjusting outputs of the plurality of speakers according to the plurality of frequency responses and the distance information. In addition, an electronic device using the speaker adjustment method is also provided.
