Knowledgeable teaching thanks alot sir 👍🙏
Thank you 🙏
I do mine differently.
After audssey. I set all the trims to zero. I start with the center channel using the master volume. Bring it to 75 dbls. From there I use only the trim to achieve 75 dbls. On all the other speakers. It really comes alive during movies!!
You still have a great share!!
Both are same , u have a different relative spl tats all. 😊
@@HometheaterEnthusiast Hi your video is very nice. Can you make a video about how to calibrate using umik1 with rew
Thank you please come again I need $7 on pump number 3.
8805A Marantz is Flagship model..vedio is so good and explained very well!
Thanks bro 😊 8805A review will come soon.
awesome bro.. really useful tips..
Thank you 😊
Great video. This is what I use at home.
Avr - denon x1500h
Front LR - fs52
Center - svs prime
Surround - Polk fxia4
Sub- svs pb1000
Now the issue I face is sound is not enveloping. Sometimes music is loud, fights are loud, sometimes vocals are loud. I do only a audyssey
Should i upgrade my front lr to something better
@@balnanj the fs52 is a very good speaker at its price range. But If ur room is so big u may consider upgrading but before doing consider doing the level matching. Also hope ur room atleast has a minimal acoustic treatment done if not pls do, u can checkout my video on budget acoustics treatment for the same.
The way u explain things it quite easy to under stand . Thnkew very much.
I have a one query after audyssey calibration subwoofer sound very low no bass at all.
Could u guide me about it thnx.
And also i have question is it ok to watch movies at 0db reference level because lower than that can’t listen dialogue.
I have denon x3800h 7.1.2
Monitor audio bronze series
Thnx 🙏🏻
Awesome Thanks for this Video. Could you please do a video on how to connect Emotiva XPA 3 3 channel amplifier to the AV receiver , Thanks in advance

Put video for cross over settings in av receiver for surround and high speakers
Sure
My Onkyo receiver is absolute 0 to 99 and i was told to calibrate at 75 or 80 volume so i used 80 but when I'm measuring with my spl meter i get 73 db and my numbers are positive and to get 75db for all my speakers i would have to increase the numbers which I've been that all the numbers should be negative
These are all relative numbers whatever u see on ur spl is the right reading, I won’t suggest to keep +ve values in processor trim levels , make it max 0 and increase the master volume, then u probably wont damage ur speaker. I know some people will disagree since tats nit the standard approach, but that’s the safe one 😊
do you prefer to calibrate speakers to 70db when most look at 75db as reference. Also, the general consensus is to set the master volume to 0 and then calibrate speaker levels, so 0 becomes reference for 70db or 75db. Thanks
I did calibrated the system for 0 only using audyssey thats why I did audessey first. Next step is only for level matching the channels thats okey whether its in 70 or 75db doesn’t matter, hope understand.
What if you set the DB to say +5? Instead of - 3? Yes it's louder but isn't that better?
Do u mean processor trim levels to +5 ?
If yes then thats not a a good idea or a standard approach. It all about making use speakers at same levels to ur listening position then increasing volume should be done in the master volume but not in the processor trim level. These are usually set at reference level.
Pl give the frequency levels set to speakers ..is 80 hz good for all speakers or different frequencies required
80hz wont be good for all the speakers, its depends on how deep your speakers can go. If its a full range speaker then 80 is fine else set the crossover depending on the speaker spec 🙂
@@HometheaterEnthusiast ia there any easy thumbrule basing on the frequency response of the speakers to set the crossovers for better output
I have denon x3800h .
After audyssey calibration my sw is sounding very low . There is no bass at all any idea?
Don’t know the exact reason, but u can try level matching, also u can increase the volume on the subwoofer to your expectation, make sure you are not changing the processor trim levels much, max 3 points.
Is it safe to increase db by +5 or something like that? I want my center just a little bit louder. Could i damage the speaker/reciever setting an individual speaker too high?
U can increase the levels a bit but not like 5db, I wont recommend tat. Max a 3db will be okey again 3 db increase may be around the double power in watts. Keep it in mind.
@@HometheaterEnthusiast thanks alot. 🙏.
Hello. I am using sony str-dn1080 amplifier. Why are the level settings set to - instead of +? The general opinion is that this setting is the volume setting. What is the most significant difference between making a speaker -5 and +5?
These are speaker trim levels in the processor after calibration, if u have +ve value after calibration tats fine, may be u have a bigger room I guess.
-5 to +5 is a 10db difference and its a lot, like 3 times power the amp to produce to drive the speakers and u may damage the speaker
@@HometheaterEnthusiast Thank you very much indeed. Short but very useful information. Greeting from Istanbul/Turkiye :)
@YusufPiskin thank you ☺️🙏
Do you know if AV8805a has better sound quality for both music and movies over AV7706?
AV8805a is better than AV7706 and theoretically it should be better for music also it has 8 premium grade DACs for all channels which is not the case for 7706.
@@HometheaterEnthusiast in your case did you practically hear a lot of difference in music and movies when you upgraded to 8805a? Also how’s the REL812 performing for movies? I’m sure it does great for music.
Can you pls tell me ,which speakers configuration have you been selected....which meanbi have seen only one speakers on sourround back!!
You can select single surround back option which I selected because one of my surround back has a speaker cable issue. Actually Im using 7.2.4 but not in this video.
If you are asking how to use a 1 surround back option like 6.2.4, then u can do it from the marantz processor. If tats ur ask I can provide the details pls let me know.
Can you please provide the details and the links to buy the Mic, REW Software and the cable? I have having trouble locating these things.
Please check in amazon, im not sure where u get it in ur country.
REW can be downloaded from here

I have received YAPO with yamaha AVR. As per your video I have to attached one site of YAPO with Laptop n YAPO to be fix on Tripod to our sitting position. I do not understand which cable other side you attached with laptop with AVR.
From laptop to avr is a hdmi connection
Pl suggest me can I use YAPO with REW setup instead of mic as shown in your video. YAPO received with YAMSHA AVR .
I dont think yapo has usb to connect with a pc
You need to st the master volume to Zero or reference otherwise all correct
Its all relative. it wont make any difference but its a best practice 😊
Sir tell best 4k Blu ray player below 15k?
Go with Panasonic
You will get it from Sony or Panasonic, please check out their product range.
@@HometheaterEnthusiast thank u 🙏🏻
Oppo
Can u plz suggest a cool handy Dolby decoder ?
Most of the AVR/Processor in the market are capable of decoding Dolby audio. checkout those brands like denon, marantz, anthem, Mcintosh etc have products u r looking for.
Fix a budget and select from these highend brands and enjoy the experience.😊
@@HometheaterEnthusiast actually I have my own 5.1 stereo amplifier with good 5.1 speakers system of 600 watts , so needed a decoder
Does calibration work with a 2.0 stereo setup?
Yes, If your pre amp supports.
For speaker DB level setting with SPL master volume set to 0 DB level. I have SPL Meter without 'C' weighted. So up to how much DB to set say 75 DB. What about subwoofer. What is its level. Pl reply.
The level matching is done in a relative manner, so whatever be the master volume doesn’t matter. If u have already done ur audyssey calibration then ur reference level is already set. Why I mentioned a 75db here is just for understanding and better reading in the meter as well.
Hope u understudy
How you get the system to work on the tv
Didn’t understand ur question completely
Which spl meter application is better in android.... I have Denon 1600H
Pls go for a separate spl meter other than the one which is available on ur phone
I m not getting REW free software. Pl send link or web site name address

Can you do calibration online on video call
No brother, one should do it in person.
why 70db not 75db reference
You can use 75db as well for reference there is no hard and fast rule. For level matching we need a relative speaker volume tats wat i set as 70, if u set it 75 just follow it tor all speakers tats all.
I think you did something incorrect here. Before you run the manual levels you should set the master volume level to 0dB and calibrate.
Its not mandatory, it is just for your reference. 🙂
On 0 volume pink noise not sounding high in my AVR What to do
The output depends on ur speaker trim on the avr (levels) and also ur master volume pls check both.
What is the reference volume to match the speaker levels?
Reference will be calibrated by audyssey. Then u can increase the volume to a point at which the the mic is able to read it properly. I will say a 75db minimum. Thats how I did that.
@@HometheaterEnthusiast yes ofcourse but what volume should be in AVR for level matching,means master volume should be 0db or anything else?
There is no hard rules, if master volume is zero then its the reference. Only thing is u shouldn’t change the master volume till the end it should be the same for all the channel tests, whether it is -5, -2 or 0 etc…

Where software aviliable in India nd at what price?
REW is an open source free software. You can download it for free. 👍🏼
How to contact you
Pls use the mailID in description
It result not perfect in room with furniture. It is ok in case of empty room. I m not happy with YAPO result as my room are occupied with furniture.
It’s all about matching your speaker levels with the current environment, whether there is furniture or not. However, there is a chance of losing balance if you change the furniture position; otherwise, it’s good.
