Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Speaker sensitivities / calibration question

I know you get it now, CV, but I'm going to try to explain how my brain grasps it anyway. Sensitivity is a static quality of a speaker, just like its dimensions, number of drivers, ports, etc. Sensitivity is simply how loud a speaker plays a tone when supplied with 1 Watt of power, measured at 1 meter from its front baffle. A less sensitive speaker can be made to play as loud as a more sensitive speaker by supplying a little more power. This "little more power" is assigned to speakers by the channel trim levels. When X watts (at any given volume level) are sent to the more sensitive speaker, X + trim watts are sent to the less sensitive speaker.
