Hi, I thought I would keep updating this thread as I do different things so that other people can learn from what I've done. After spending some time with my small Kef T2 subwoofer (10" driver, 250W, sealed box) doing room sweeps in various positions around my room, I had learned several...

Hi Chips, the -12dB is the signal level you are playing through your system, The SPL measurement is from your calibrated UMIK1. If you turn up the signal your measured SPL will be louder. I think this just lets you see the SPL of each speaker relative to each other. After the audyssey I think...

Hi Dean, I'm in the same boat as you here having just done my first REW tests at the weekend and trying to understand what they mean and what to do next. I came across a large guide over at AVS Forum called 'Guide to Subwoofer Calibration and Bass Preferences' if you google that. It's biased...

With the generator and SPL I assume you would set the generator to 'full range' rather than 'sub cal' but Audyssey sets the levels so you don't need to do that before the audyssey. For the minidsp I don't know how you are supposed to use it with audyssey, whether you do it before or after the...

Cool :) Pete.

On the back of your sub there is a level control (see image). What have you got it set to? I've read online that it should be set to about 1/2 to 1/3 for audyssey calibration. Try turning it down and rerunning Audyssey calibration. If it still comes out at -12dB try turning down some more and...

Hi, on my Denon receiver the audyssey microphone measures SPL during the calibration on the screen shown in the attached image when you select 'SW level matching'. I don't know what receiver you have, so it might not have the same option. You can also measure SPL in REW with your UMIK1...

Hi Chips, -12dB level means Audyssey has made the maximum negative adjustment it can which means it has run out of room to make the adjustments it needed. Did it complain about the subwoofer being too loud during setup? Rerun Audyssey and when it gets to the subwoofer level check there is an...

Hi, some quick background, my system is: - Denon AVR-X4000 with Audyssey MultEQ-XT32 - 5.1 speaker setup - Kef T301 front left/right, Kef T301c centre, Kef T101 surround left/right. - subwoofer was an SVS PC-13 ultra which has recently died, so I've reverted to using the small Kef T2 subwoofer...
