Test tones / Volumes on the 5 speakers

[wilborn f]

When setting up tha test tones or volumes on the 5 speakers (5.1 set-up), is it advisable to have identical volumes on these? Is it necessary that the center speaker have a louder volume as compared to the others? What is the rule of thumb on this. Your comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,


wilborn

All should be the same SPL at the listening position. See the beginner's primer and FAQ for more thorough info on how to calibrate more accurately.
