Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Best way to run two channels off one pre-out?

I would calibrate them independently and just see how well they match up. If you have the M22 co-located you should see a bump in there output. The VP 150 is a bit more sensitive and will draw a bit more from the amp but as I see it the difference should be very minimal with the M22s set up the way you have them.

How do you know one is louder than the other? My M2s are above and below the screen. I could not tell you if the sound is anchored higher or lower on screen. It just comes from the screen.

A question I've often thought....

If one (me!) were running a VP100 and a VP150 in parallel off of the AVR, how does one (me!) calibrate the two speakers independently?

Before you get the RIGHT answer from on of the smart guys if you knew which of the centres played louder, couldn't you run this off of the first centre but with an attenuator? I'm asking, not saying it's going to work or not.

With what shall he attenuate it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

Calibrate the 150 with the 100 disconnected and then check to see how much more the 100 reqires to match the level of the 150, I think I found they are within 1-2 db of each other and never noticed a difference when I ran them in parallel with one above and below my TV.

Mike, as some of the replies indicate, you probably don't do anything if one is just "a bit" louder. The image shift probably won't be noticeable and adding resistance to pad the louder one down shouldn't be necessary.

Can a resistor of somekind be used at the 2nd centre(louder)? or perhaps an L-pad?

Again, smart people will be along shortly, but I think a resistor will not attenuate evenly across the spectrum.

On second thought, maybe I ought to just leave well alone.
