Drank a few too many beers at the Oktoberfest thing last night so I have decided it’s safer to screw around with my speaker calibrations than power tools today.
While messing around with the Avia DVD and the LFE test tones part of the DVD and subwoofer calibrations (with my RS meter), I noticed that when the LFE test tones cycle from L/C/R/SR/SL, the LFE noise is considerably lower on all channels other than the R and L mains. It's right about 10 DB lower actually. I have the X-over set to 80 on all speakers (they are all set to small of course) and I’ve set the AVR sub to a -6 and all the speakers are reading as close as possible with pink noise. I’ve tried everything on my AVR settings (it’s a HK 7300) and I can’t change this phenomenon. The HK also has an option to select L/R, Center, Surround or Surround back. I’ve tried them all and there is no difference.
So my question is, how am I to set the gain on the sub?? Do I match the mains or do I match the other channels??
