9 When setting the volume levels for each speaker
Lot's ossumo thot \ ou ho\ e motchod tho sound lo\ ols of nil tho
spenkors using tho test tono. Although this lays the foundation
for high qualify surround sound, if may be necessary to make
further acijustments while listening to playback of actual
software. This is because most software contains center and rear
channels recorded at slightly lower levels than tho two front
channels.
When you actually playback software recorded in multi channel
surround you will notice that increasing the center and rear
speaker levels produces a better blend between the front and
center speakers and greater cohesion between the front and rear
speakers. Increasing the level of fhe center speaker about 1 dB,
and the rear speakers about 1~2 dB is likely to produce better
results.
In other words, in order to create a more cohesive soundstage
with balanced dialog, we recommend that you make some
adjustments while playing your software. Changes of only 1 dB
can make a huge difference in the character of the soundstage.
