Levels Calibration (Setup : Audio : Outputs : Analog Audio Preferences : Levels
Calibration)
Levels Calibration is used to calibrate output trim levels for each
speaker when the Volume parameter is set to “Variable.” The table
below indicates default and possible calibration settings for each
speaker parameter. These parameters are not available when the
Volume parameter is set to “Fixed”.
Before calibrating output levels, consider the following:
•Using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter to calibrate variable
output levels is recommended. An SPL meter is a device that
measures the relative loudness of each speaker. SPL meters are
available at Radio Shack.
Eliminate extraneous noises in the listening space such as
conversations, air conditioners, and sounds that filter in
through open doors and windows.
Remove objects (including people) that obstruct the line-of-sight
path between the SPL meter and the speaker being measured.
To be consistent, calibrate output levels from the primary
listening position by placing the SPL meter at the approximate
location of the listener’s head.
