If your facility does not use a formal reference level and/or if the link to
the 8685’s input uses J.17 preemphasis (which is only available for the 2.0
input; see step 5 on page 2-23):
•
To calibrate using tone, perform steps (a) and (b) below.
•
To calibrate using program material, skip to step (G) on page 2-26.
a) If you are not using a studio level controller, feed a 400 Hz tone into the Lf
and Rf channels of the 8685 through your console at your normal program
line-up level (typically 0 VU if your console uses VU meters). Do not drive
any other channels.
b) If you are using a studio level controller that performs an AGC function,
feed a 400 Hz tone at your normal program level into its Lf and Rf channels
and adjust the studio level controller for normal operation.
c) Adjust the 8685’s

d) Skip to step (H).
G) Calibrate using program.
[Skip this step if you are using Tone to calibrate the 8685 to your stan-
dard studio level—see step (F) above.]
a) Feed normal program material to the 8685
Play program material from your studio, peaking at the level to which
you normally peak program material (typically 0VU if your console uses
VU meters).
b) Adjust the

If the

(higher on the meter), re-adjust the S
