While doing some reading I came across this on the Elemental Design website. Just curious who turns their sub off while calibrating their system using an auto calibrating receiver. Or has anyone else heard of such a thing?
I have an older receiver right now but do have plans on updating my system later in this year.
If you have a receiver with built in auto equalization such as Audyssey, we
suggest keeping this turned off. Auto equalization programs have one goal, to get
a flat frequency response for your system. The downfall to these programs is
their inability to know the limits of the subwoofers speaker and amplifier. We
have seen some cases of the program adding upwards of 15-20 decibels at
20hz. Not only is this very demanding of the speaker and amplifier, but it can also
cause damage.
I don't know shat for shinola but I got my EP500 today, the instructions say to turn it to 1/4 volume for "auto-calibration" (but auto-calibration" not recommended)
I have just finished running audyssey and now need to go play with the sub volume
