I have kind of a unique question because I don't use a .1 sub. I have a powered sub on each of my front L & R and rear L & R so I have 4 full range channels for movies and 2 full range channels for music. I have my center set as small at 80 hz.
I had my system calibrated based on test tones from my 1068 and an SPL meter, adjusting the bass to my liking. I picked up an AVIA DVD the other day and did some sine wav testing. How "flat" do you guys really have your system?
My studio 60s are pretty flat through the whole test tone and as they blend into the subs. Now once I start getting into the lower frequencies in my subs, the SPL meter levels gradually get higher until they roll of at really low freqs. If I set the subs to stay more flat with the high frequenices and then play some music, it doesn't seem to be enough bass. Am I just conditioned to having more bass because that's how I am used to hearing it or do people generally have the levels a bit higher for lower frequencies?
Movies have more punch in the low freqs and I have a TST for the really low effects so I guess I am noticing it more so in music. If you set the db for low frequenices higher, how much higher should they register on the SLP meter. 5 db, 10 db? I set the SPL meter at C and slow response to do my measurements. Any input would be much appreciated!
