 Hi,
I was very happy to receive my PB13 today. It was shipped in excellent condition and the glossy black finish is superb! Excellent craftmanship !
I was really expecting the woooooooooooooooooow effect after I placed the unit in the corner of the room.
This room is quite large
lengte : 12.2 meters
width : 4.5 meters (with 1/3 of the lenght even having a width of 6meters)
height : 2,5 meters
To make things worse, there is "hole" in the ceiling towards the 1e floor with an addition 4x4x2.3meters area.(our staircase starts in the living-room)
If you start adding all together this is more then 7000 cubic feet !
- I've used default 20Hz tuning
- disabled all X-over on the PB
- set room-compensation to LARGE according to manual
- gain is about half-way the dial.
The PB13, in its current setup, surely "helps" expand the base-experience, but I do get a sense of "boominess" when I start playing louder...so I'm expecting room-issues ??
I have no SPL-meter yet, since I was hoping the Audessey in my Onkyo 875 would "fix" things.
I would then "adjust" levels by listinging certain movies/audio tracks.
Any hints from the pro's ? Is the room just to big to get the "punch" effect ?
What about my sense of "boominess" with the sub in corner ? I can test this weekend by moving the sub for about 2.4meters away from the corner...
Need your input guys!
Thanks! |
Set the room gain comp to Bypass.
Set the phase to 0 degrees.
Set the PEQ controls to full CCW (bypassed)
Use the Onkyo to set channel levels and speaker/subwoofer distances and let Audy do the EQ. Then go back and make sure none of the speakers are set to Large or have a too-low XO frequency. Make sure all speakers are set to Small with an 80 Hz XO, even if they are fairly large.
Sometimes the AVR sets the speakers to Large (when they really aren't full range) and this obviously kills the bass response.
Let me know how it goes.......
