After performing these adjustments, you may skip forward to
the “Final System Balance”section. It is recommended that you
perform a second measurement to confirm that the settings
are correct.
If you are going to retest the system after EQ adjustments,
repeat the “Setting the Subwoofer Test Level”section on page 7.
Retesting the system will go much faster if you use
Tracks 27–50.These tracks contain all the same test tones you
just used. However, each tone plays for only a few seconds and
there is no fr
equency announcement.
If you are uncomfortable
operating at this pace, you may, of course, perform measure-
ments with the original test tracks.
Y
our f
ir
st interpretation of the data and choice of settings may
not be optimum.You can repeat the test-adjust-test cycle as often
as needed to get the desired results.To do this, return to “Setting
the Subwoofer Test Level”on page 7.You may prefer to retest
using the same template
.
Doing so makes it easy to evaluate the
improvement.
When you are satisfied with the results, go to “Final System
Balance.”
