- The decoded subwoofer output channel of a
DVD-A player is typically 10 dB lower that the other chan-
nels. The +10dB option boosts the subwoofer signal by
10dB. The 0dB passes the subwoofer channel unaffected.
4. Delay Settings
The Speaker Delay settings help the sound from each
speaker arrive at the listening seat at the same time. This
provides a much more believable and immersive sound
environment. Precise delay settings should be done by a
trained professional with audio test equipment such as the
AudioControl Iasys HT to measure the actual sound delay.
You can get a rough
delay setting using an
assistant and a tape
measure. Measure the
distance from the cen-
ter of a speaker to the
seated ear position of
the main listening seat.
Write each of these dis-
tances down and enter
them into the Maestro
M2e.
5. Level Settings
It is critical to properly match the levels from each speaker
to achieve a correct sound stage. The realism is totally
lost if the footprints of a person walking across the screen
change in volume as they move from left to center to right.
We strongly recommend using a test analyzer such as our
IasysHT for this calibration. The levels are nearly impossible
to judge by ear alone. Though not as accurate as using the
Iasys HT, you can use a sound level meter fro this adjust-
ment.
With the internal test noise generator of the Maestro M2e,
adjust each speaker for a sound pressure level (SPL) of 75
dB using a “slow” response time on the SPL meter placed at
the main listening position at ear height. Use the Mode and
Effect buttons on the Maestro M2e to select a speaker chan-
