dynamic eq will always be active unless you are at 0db volume (volume scale). for example at -12 db you will be getting around 6-7 db bass boost and surrounds level boost depending on type of dynamic eq you choose
The OP simply meant that his max listening level is with his MV at -12 (relative to 0). He meant his personal reference level is -12, but saying that causes confusion with otjers because true reference levels means when your sysyem is st max (or 0 relative), and you calibrate to 85dB when using a -18.5dBFS full band pink noise, your system and equipment should be able to play up to peaks of 105dB in the mains and 115dB in the LFE (more if you account for headroom with no distortion).
Dynamic EQ kicks in when you go below or above 0 dB on the Denon/Marqntz AVR/processor volume scale (assuming you have the offset setting set to 0 dB). If you're at -12 dB and have Dynamic EQ on, you will have boosted bass, treble and speaker levels for all speakers that are supposed to be behind or to the side of you (surrounds, back surrounds, surround heights, surround back heights..). OCA's A1 EVO script can adjust Dynamic EQ so that it does not kick in before you go below -30 dB and does not boost any surround speakers.
Some processors, like the Monolith HTP-1 let you adjust where it kicks in using 1 dB increments. I think Denon/Marantz use 5 dB increments. Anthem is the only manufacturer that omits dynamic EQ, which makes their equipment sound thin in the bass at lower listening levels.
@@MuenchenBob Interesting that monolith already offers that 🤔... Thanks, I wasn't aware if this 👍 UPDATE : I can't find any reference to info mentioning Audyssey and the Monolith HTP-1 only Dirac...
Yes,it's on at any volume. It's the main reason for it. Especially for nighttime movie viewing. You can still enjoy movies at night, at low volumes and still maintain some dynamics (bass). With dynamic eq off, you would have to increase overall volume to reach a reasonable dynamic threshold to enjoy movies. Hope this helps.
It’s not dynamics. It has no impact on the dynamics. It’s just re-Eqing the signal. And then if you use the Dolby volume or Audyssey dynamic volume feature, you would then get compression. This does change the dynamics but it doesn’t expand them, it compresses them. The lower the volume the more it compresses the dynamics. What he is asking however is how it works at 0dBFS on the volume control. In theory it shouldn’t be changing the EQ of the response at all. It’s effectively bypassed.
Dynamic EQ is an Audyssey feature found on Denon and Marantz. Other brands can have similar Loudness compensation features, but they are not called Dynamic EQ.
Pioneers newest receivers have a voice enhancement feature that applies a center spread and compression. It’s their own approach. It has a dynamic EQ aspect to it. It’s kind of like dynamic EQ and dynamic volume in one. In my opinion it’s not as good a feature for movies. It works great for making speech more intelligible with casual listening.

MultEQ-X Dynamic EQ Future Improvements Wishlist
1 : Ability to set a custom Dynamic EQ operating range...
20Hz - 80Hz
20Hz - 120Hz
20Hz - 250Hz
20Hz - 500Hz
Dynamic EQ won't make any adjustments above these respective cut-off points.
2 : Ability to disable Dynamic EQ volume boosting of surround channels...
Automatic Surround Volume Adjustment | OFF
Automatic Surround Volume Adjustment | ON
3 : Ability to have more granular control of the Dynamic EQ offset...
-1dB -2dB -3dB -4dB -5dB -6dB -7dB -8dB -9dB -10dB -11dB -12dB -13dB -14dB -15dB
Instead of just -5dB -10dB -15dB

@@UnfinishedBusinessInGaming Oops, sorry, that's correct. I was just thinking of the custom angle to your comment.
I thought that when you have dynamic EQ on, it's on at any volume. I've always had mine on, to be honest I don't know how my HT sound with it off.

Does pioneer lx 505 have dynamic eq?
Dynamic EQ is an Audyssey feature found on Denon and Marantz. Other brands can have similar Loudness compensation features, but they are not called Dynamic EQ.
@HT-Denmark what did it tell you?

It’s kind of like dynamic EQ and dynamic volume in one. In my opinion it’s not as good a feature for movies. It works great for making speech more intelligible with casual listening.
5 Pounds.
Dynamic EQ kicks in when Biden’s brain shuts off. 😂
