Mga sirs question lang po. After performing audyssey calibration, should I change the crossover frequency of all the channels to 80hz(THX)? Or should I stick to the calibration result na lang?
Audyssey calibrates the system based on REFERENCE setting. After calibration, resulting setting will be achieveed accordingly. Any changes you do with the result shifts it to PREFERENCE setting.
Simply put,if your satisfied with the results, you may stick with it and thus your will enjoy REFERENCE setting especially if you set the volume to 0 db or 82 db
If your not happy with the result, you can play around with it until you get your desired result.
Please takenote that what I have posted is not out of expertise but experience gain thru the help of other HT nethusiast and after reading a lot of things about audyssey calibrations.
These are the things I could recall as part of Audyssey reminders:
1. Before doing Audyssey, set your subwoofer GAIN to halfway, subwoofer cross over to the highest setting. Run the Audyssey and if after one mic position you can save the result, save it then review the resulting subwoofer level calibration. If its on the highest + value or closer to it, you need to increase the gain level, if the result is on the highest - value, decrease the gain level setting, according to people i have asked, ideal is to get either a + 3 or - 3 db. Once this is achieved, you may proceed with the rest of the calibration.
2. After calibration, you will get a resulting xover, I was advise before that if I get a value lower than 60 hz, I need to set it at 80 hz (80 hz is the THX recommended setting). If the result is 60 and above, I can maintain it.
3. Subwoofer LPF of the LFE is recommended by THX to be set to 120 HZ.
After doing several run of calibrations, I have observed that the center channel tends to be lower in volume, several forums have also shared this observations so what I do is just adjust the center level calibration accordingly.
Someone alos shared with me that running the subwoofer at 6 db hotter provides very good result and I must agree it does.
Please continue to read on stuff and validate everyting before trying out.
