Home Theater Settings and Speaker Configuration
« on: Apr 05, 2016 at 10:35 AM »
hello masters,

im just curious, please share your settings or speaker configuration on your current set up (manual settings)

sa mga 5.1 set up very helpful to post here para makapag timpla at makapagtest din ako ng ibang settings.

so let me start here's mine:

Speakers  = Dist.mtr. = level/db
Front Left      3.00     =  -4.5
Center          2.80     =  -3.5
Front Right    3.00     =  -4.5
SR Left         2.50     =  -5.0
SR Right        2.50     =  -5.0

Subwoofer     3.50     =  +1.0
gain         = 10 o'clock
cutoff/freq. = 80 hz
Phase align.= 140 degrees.

Use a SPL meter on test tones to calibrate your speakers. 75db may be your starting point.

Sir, iba ibang rooms, receivers and speakers really have different settings talaga. There is no general rule jan. In the absence ofan SPL meter, i'm sure the sound would be audible naman for you to hear the difference in gain/volume. Ako naman, as a matter of preference, masmalakas ng 1-3db ang center speakers ko.

agree.. setting is very room dependent. different room config and materials have different dips and peaks

using your receiver's room calibration feature is a good starting point, then you can fine tune to your liking.

baka need mo mag lagay ng acoustic treatments (absorbers and diffusers) sa listening area mo since di ka kamo natutuwa sa resulta even after calibrating your speakers...si konsi nelson ang best person to help you pagdating sa acoustic treatments  ;) ;) ;)
