Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Sub Calibration

don't forget that part of the calibration is sub positioning (as w/ all speakers).

have you done the sub crawl? Put the sub where you mainly sit and listen. Play the appropriate tones and crawl around listening for the best response. Where it sounds best is where the sub should be placed. Of course, you may have to make compromises for WAF.

shrubber - if all else fails, Amazon can help you out. Locally, you might try Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. Amazon's pricing will likely be better.

These things all have their plusses and minuses. I prefer Avia because it takes the approach of having the LFE come through your individual speakers rather than calibrating your sub separately. I am sure there is a much more technical way to explain this, but it just works easier .

Shrubber,
you could try ebay too

Here is a link to the AVIA Guide to Home Theater with a good price.

Hope this helps as I KNOW it helps to make your system sound its best.

Thanks, gents. I'll check the usual big-box suspects. If not there (or priced usuriously) I'll go online.

The new Hsu is slated to come Wednesday. (Not much of a backorder on the STF-2 as it turns out. Yay.) I already got my trusty SPL meter from 'da Shack. I'm ready to rock.

And please, call me Roger. Or Mr. The Shrubber. ;^)

Roger,

The link I listed will probably be the best price...most B & M locations where I have found the AVIA disk are usually priced close to $50 US or more. An additional note: That link offers free shipping.

That doesn't come from the Monty Python "the shrubbery" quote does it?
It has been so long since i've watched the Holy Grail.

Chess,

Yes, the very same.
