Adjusting the subwoofer level:

Human sense of audition tends to recognize the test noise from the subwoofer at a lower level than actual (the test noise from the subwoofer has been designed for use when an acoustic pressure meter is used in the balance adjust- ment). It is therefore difficult to adjust the subwoofer level by listening to the test noise through human ears.

To adjust the subwoofer level, play a musical tune you are accustomed to or a movie containing large amount of bass and adjust the level until you feel that the balance with other speakers is obtained.

To obtain accurate output levels

38 To obtain accurate output levels, it is recommended to use a handheld Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter. Readings should be taken from your actual listening position and adjust the level of each speaker to 75 dB SPL (C-weighted/ slow meter mode).
