Hi,
it's my first post here so here is a quick overview of my audio setup before asking my question.
I own a Anthem MRX710 associated to Monitor Audio GX50 bookshelves in front scene and Monitor Audio Silver 50 bookshelves for surrounds.
Low frequencies are handled by a SVS SB13 ultra subwoofer and crossover is simply set to 80Hz. Listening/viewing position is in the living room open to the kitchen, no passive treatment.
Some time ago, I ran a new calibration with integrated ARC and surprisingly it founds my subwoofer volume really low which ends up by setting the AVR level for the sub line to +8dB. I initially suspected the room being the culprit
I re-ran the calibration more recently and quickly noticed the subwoofer sweep noise is played at an obviously lower volume than for the rest of the speakers.
So, I tried REW for comparison and everything is correct from volume perspective. I mean, with REW and 75db target, my SVS master volume is set to -15dB with a AVR sub line reset to 0dB while I need to increse SVS master volume to -8dB when running ARC, which also increase sub level to +3dB to reach the 75dB target. Really feels like there is a 10dB difference as if I miss the LFE 10dB boost for Dolby/DTS
That being said, I'm wondering whether there might be a compatibility issue between ARC Genesis (using latest version with latest firmware) and my 'old' generation AVR, which originally used previous ARC-2 software.
