Hi and Merry Christmas, I'm helping a friend set up his whole house speaker system. He just purchased the house and it had approx. 10 pairs of in ceiling speakers throughout the house with a pair in most every room. There are in-wall in room volume controls for each of the speaker pairs. The...

If you have 2, 3, 8, 57, etc. drivers on a particular channel, how do you make sure they all match each other's output levels? I'm talking about an active system with one amp channel per driver, or at least one channel per crossover band. Do you size the amps to match the different driver...

I have two different branded subwoofers, one from REL and other from PSB. My front speakers are B&W 802D's. I am trying to balance the volume of Sub's with speakers using REW SPL Meter with REW's signal generator using sign wave. Keeping the volume constant on AVP, I balanced my sub and...

Ok I am wondering how I can get the bass in my room to sound the same as it does in the listening position? In the LP the bass is great but anywhere else in the room and it is overpowering? All the measurements I have taken were from the LP so am sure that has alot to do with it, how do I...

I plan to add a DIY JL12W7 sub with an iNuke3000DSP to my current system with an SVS PB13Ultra sub. But since the iNuke's HPF can't go below 20hz, I am now thinking of getting the non-DSP pro amp and add a miniDSP so both subs can be EQ'd. Using an Onkyo 818 receiver, a miniDSP and 2 subs. What...

I own Sony VPL-HW15 for about 3 years. I begin to have a white balance issue since my projector lamp at about 400 hours usage. At a cinema mode I got a measurement on white balance on 6500K with average gamma at 2.2 (after calibration) when was new. After 400 hours of usage. The best result...

My pair of Infinity 162s have excellent imaging abilities but my new AVR lacks balance adjustments for its zone 2 (or zone "A" as they call it). This basic function (or lack there of) is sacrificing my imaging quality. I love my new upa2 amp but it lacks independent channel adjustments, any...

I have recently changed drivers from stock in my speakers. I would like to ensure the tweeters, mid and woofers are set at a proper level relative to each other. How do I use REW to achieve this kind of calibration? I do have the ability to attenuate the mid and tweeter.

Hi all, I've been working the last few days to set up a Rythmik DS12 kit. I'm using an integrated amp instead of an A/V receiver, so the only crossover available to me is in the Rythmik's amp. I've tried high-passing the mains and also running them full-range, and I think I like the latter...

I've been getting more into photography lately and acquired a whibal white balance card (http://www.rawworkflow.com/products/whibal/index.html). What's interesting is that the resulting picture doesn't look like the room according to my eyes. The autowhitebalance picture (394) looks more like...

Hi there, I recently received my late father's Thorens turntable. This is the Thorens TD 150 Mk II AB (per the label), circa 1965. Made in W. Germany, my father's native country. He cherished this piece, and it's really nice to have it in my system. I remember playing drums with this...
