Ok, I just finished a complete recalibration of my audio after getting a 16-46 PCi sub using DVE, including calibration of the sub itself. There have been several threads concerning the subwoofer signal on DVE, and my understanding from these is that the sub signal is 10dB too hot in the test patterns. I have never done a manual calibration before, so I wanna make sure I did this right.
1)Used the auto-setup on my Denon to verify speaker phase, set distance for delay time, and do a rough SPL balance.
2)Fine-tuned the SPL balance using the 6.1 pink noise test on DVE. All channels were set to 74dB at an AVR setting of –02dB (I know, not Dolby standard), and the sub to 84-85dB.
3)Set the sub phase by maximizing the bass SPL in a bassy loop (in this case, the menu to “Godzilla”)
My question is, outside of channel equalization, did I miss anything? John Garcia?
