Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Balancing the Centre Channel

Hi,
I've balanced all the speakers with the AVIA test disk and the SPL meter but find that I am adjusting the sound all the time during DVD playback. For instance we are watching LOTR ExtEd at present and during dialogue my wife wants the Vol higher but during the action scenes she wants it turned down. It just seems that the dialogue passages are “relatively” quite in comparison.

I've just turned the Centre up +3DB (to+4.5 from +1.5) on the Yami to see how this goes (the Fronts are +5.5) for the next disk (and when I get around to it I’ll recheck with the SPL meter). Any other thoughts / idea (or am I hearing things?)

Thanks
Nathan
