It will do. Calibration still uses the supplied microphone plugged into the AVR to take the measurements as the phone is used just to control the setup and adjust the curves. Once done, it will upload the corrections to one of the slots in the AVR, the LX505 has three of these slots. You can...

Yes, it is better to use a computer with all the mic positions for the best results, but you still get a pretty good result using a phone and the basic mic positions. I guess this also depends on what your room setup is like and how much correction is needed. There are a few good YouTube...
