oReference Level Offset

Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard. Recommended setting levels for content are shown below.

 

 

0 dB (Film Reference)

Optimized for content such as

a very wide dynamic range, such as

music that has a wider dynamic

10 dB :

range. This setting should also be

selected for TV content as that is

 

usually mixed at 10 dB below film

 

reference.

15 dB :

or other program material that is

mixed at very high listening levels

 

and has a compressed dynamic

 

range.

Setting is enabled when “Dynamic EQ” is “On”. (v p. 157)
