Guys after you calibrate the AVRs w/ the automatic calibration mic do you still make manual adjustment? I still do coz it still feels its not right, I really think the our natural ear is better in calibrating
Just wanting to know whats your approach after an initial set-up on? Good day everyone ![Wink ;)](https://www.pinoydvd.com/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
i believe what we are looking for in auto calibration whether its audyssey, mccac, ypao and the likes is the equalization, the gain, crossovers, timing and distances can always be change by the listener to their preference. but the equalization you cant change for these auto calibrating system. doing the eq by yourself is possible but without the necessary tools it might not be a good idea.
i have done it myself and heard it also in sir mark's (streetsmart) home theater. with same settings as for gain, crossover and others. but listening to same source and material with audyssey eq on and off. the difference in sq is very evident.
not to overstate it, what you pay for this auto system is the equalization, its there so that any receiver with it can sound good in any room environment. after audyssey, i set all crossovers to 80hz (thx) then subwoofer gain to +5db hotter than what audyssey recommended. with same setting but eq off, the sound is a bit muddy, bass boomy because of higher gain and it rattles my "kisame" same settings audyssey as-eq1 and audyssey multeq engaged. sounds great.
