 Here's an oddity I was also hitting I'd like some feedback on...
When I did the Check Levels from the Sound card options it said my input level was good like -18dB. However when I press the Check Levels button on the Measurement window before taking a measurement it said it was too low, like -30ish.
So I then used the option to increase the level from -12 to -9. Then the measurement Check Levels button said the level was ok. But then the problem was that my receiver was no longer putting out 75dB, it was putting out something more.
So then I'd lower the receiver volume so I was back to 75dB, but then the Measurement Check Levels button again would say it was too low. So I was caught in this cycle.
Eventually somehow or another I seemed to manage to get this straight while using the -12 setting. Not sure how I did this though and am wondering what to do the next time this happens. Thanks. |
What end frequency were you using? The levels check in the measurement window tests across the whole range you are set to measure, when measuring a sub that means the result gets lower as the end frequency goes higher. It operates differently to the levels setting on the soundcard settings to avoid having to select whether you using a sub or a main speaker (Bruce told me this would confuse people
)
