SP2: Calibrating and Setting Levels/Channel to Channel Balance - dB Level To Use
« on: 19 Jan 2010, 02:45 pm »
What dB level do you use when adjusting your channel balances?

The SP2 owners manual states 85dB but also that the level is not critical.  I have been using ~ 79dB because 85dB seems a little loud.

My 'guess' is to use the closest level to what I listen to my music and movies, since it is really only balanced at this one dB level.

Your thoughts?

85dB is the professional standard used in recording studios.

James,

Your awesome!!  I'll try to use that level, but it is pretty loud.

Thanks, JohnnyB
