Output & Levels tab
The
Output & Levels
tab is used to set the signal levels used in the subsequent measurements. We recommend
following this procedure:
1.
Set the
Output volume
slider all the way down, at -80 dB.
2.
Click on the
Test
button for the left channel and gradually increase
Output volume
. You should hear pink
noise playing from the left speaker. Continue to increase volume until it is at a moderate level, such that
your voice would have to be raised to converse with someone sitting next to you.
3.
Set the
Input gain
slider
so that the blue bar on the level meter is about in the middle of the green section,
or around -12 dB:
4.
Click again on the
Test
button for the left channel to stop the test signal.
5.
Click on the
Test
button for each of the remaining channels. If any channel is not in the green zone, use the
Channel volume
sliders to adjust the relative volume of the channels. (Some readjustment of
Input gain
and
Output volume
may also be needed.)
Note: if large adjustments are required to the
Channel volume
sliders, you may have an issue with gain structure
in downstream electronics, and gain levels in e.g. amplifiers should be adjusted for a more uniform set of
readings.
When done, click the
Proceed
button.
