Hi Jack

Assuming you are using only DVE test tones , its important to recognize that the 0.1 tone is 12db hot. If using the SPL metre a reading of 85 with DVE gets 73db which, after considering the RS correction, is flat with the speakers at 75db. The extra 2db is the metre correction factor. ie. 87 on the metre would be 2db hot while 85 is flat with the other speakers if you have dialled in the other speakers at 75db with the tones. If you are calibrating at 82-83db with DVE your sub is set too low.


DVE 75db/85db

Avia 85db/83db

Discwasher 75db/73db


Understood, and thank you John.
