4. 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 or a sound level meter for this calibration. The
levels are nearly impossible to judge by ear alone.
With the internal test noise generator of the Maestro,
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
s
Mode
and
t
Effect buttons on the Maestro to select a speaker
channel, then adjust the volume of that speaker with the
Multi-Function control knob.

The A A A A Automatic utomatic utomatic utomatic utomatic option is used for a quick check by ear after
you have manually calibrated the levels. The Automatic
option steps through all the speaker with a two second
burst of test noise. Sitting in the main listening position,
you should not hear any change in volume level as each
speaker is played.

which bass is redirected from speaker channels set to
“Small” and sent to the Subwoofer outputs. This frequency
is adjustable from 40 Hz to 150 Hz in 10 Hz increments. If
you choose the THX or THX Surr EX in the Speaker Settings
menu, then this crossover frequency is fixed at 80 Hz to
meet the THX specifications and cannot be adjusted.

to achieve 75dB with non-THX certified
speakers. If this happens, set the Left
Speaker Level Setting to 0dB and measure the
SPL of the Left Speaker. Now step through the
other speaker channels and match their SPL
readings to that of the Left speaker.
