    "How hot should my levels be when I'm recording or mixing?" is a question that is asked quite frequently on all sorts of internet forums and in general conversations with aspiring recording engineers and those new to mixing. Gain staging refers to one's signal path, going from the source...
  2. Subwoofer Amps | High Pass Filters
    I have an EP2500 and EP4000. Each of them is bridged to a single sub. I read that the Channel 2 Gain should be turned all the way down when bridged, Channel 1 all the way up, and set the volume with the Sub Out on the receiver, which I have always done. I turned it up today while running some...
  3. DIY Subwoofers - General Discussion
    Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question. My immediate listening area is approx 300 ft^2 but it also part of an open first floor that is over 1200 ft^2. I have limited space and a large ported subs will probably not work. How much if any room gain I can expect at lower...
  4. Subwoofer Amps | High Pass Filters
    Balancing gain in: Receiver, Reckhorn b-1 and 2 x ep2500 EDIT I am switching to an ep2500 and an ep4000 both in bridged 4ohm and needing to put out about 1100w each for my subs. Since the gain on these is only 1.23v will the reckhorn b-1 be enough? What does the reckhorn mean when it says it...

    Contrary to popular belief, car audio amplifier gain controls are not volume controls. They are input sensitivity controls and are intended to allow the user to adjust the sensitivity of an amplifier to match the output voltage from the head unit. This is needed in car audio because there is...
  6. General Screen Discussion
    I am considering ordering the new AE4000U. I will be purchasing a 16:9 106" electric screen to go with it. My main viewing will be games and movies. My HT is also my living room so it is not light controlled although most viewing will be done at night. I sit 12 - 14' from the screen. Viewing...

    Hi, I am trying to setup a projector system for my church. We have a stage and I am planing on using the projector to create the backdrop of the stage. I have found a projector, BenQ MP776 ST, and need to mount it 16' from the screen. This has to be the measurement because the ceiling is too...

    I set all the knobs according to the booklet but then after calling SVS on a separate matter discoverd that my Onkyo 705 handles much of the "knob stuff" so I was instructed to tune them to zero. Problem is that I don't remember what the guy said about the gain and my kids played with it. I...

    Is there a such thing as a calculator or equation to estimate a rooms gain curve? I have a livingroom connected to a kitchen with a very large opening between them, that could probably just as well not be there, and I would like to get somewhat of an estimate of what the cabin gain will be like...

    I recently purchased an SVS SB12-Plus as a replacement for two Yamaha YST-SW100 subs. The Yamaha subs have gain and crossover controls on the front of the sub making adjustments on-the-go rather easy. The SB12-Plus has a much broader menu of controls, but they are all located on the back of...

    For now all of the gain readings are posted here. They will all be here soon though. ;) Well I had a big long write up of how I obtained all of the readings and what not and I accidentally hit a button on my favorites toolbar and lost it all. For now I'm going to do a brief synopsis and I'll...
  12. DIY Screen Development and Testing
    Mech. Your GAIN tests made me sleepless....ok, that would be stretching it, but it made me think. As I understand it a GAIN curve is the relative value of amount of reflected light from various angles in relation to a known ref sample of Magnesium Carbonate. So if I measure the ref sample two...
  13. DIY Subwoofers - General Discussion
    Is there a common Hz area for room gain specifically in the 20HZ area. I know each room is different for gain amount and frequencie but does the same low Hz show up frequently. My sub is dead and I wasn't able to master REW so I cant measure my room. The reason for the question is for tuning...
  14. DIY Subwoofers - General Discussion
    I messed around yesterday and tried to determine the amount of room gain I've got below 30hz. It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped because it is hard to get anything accurate in the single digits. The ambient noise floor, equipment roll off, low output there, etc. make it difficult to get...
  15. General Screen Discussion
    Just a quick question. Which is better in a room with somewhat poor light control ... a gray screen with 1.0 gain (Elite CineGray) or a high gain white screen with 1.8 gain (Elite PowerGain)? Btw, my projector is a Mitsubishi HC1500 and the screen size I'm thinking of going with is 106"...
  16. General Screen Discussion
    Still learning I have been stumped trying to figure out why people use a screen with gain and sometimes significant amounts in a HT? I figured this would be for bright rooms where light can't be controlled, but I see people with high end PJ's using these? What am I missing?
  17. Electronic Processing/Equalization Devices
    I was wondering if it is ok to apply a gain of 6db at 3 frequencies. I will be able to get a much flatter response if I apply higher gain like 5-6 db so that when I apply the cuts, the suck outs dont go further down. I generally dont play very loud. With my volume setting I only measured some...
  18. REW Forum
    Sealed sub using four SDX-15 drivers, so a fairly sharp modeled rolloff. Even without EQ, there was a lot of room gain, after applying a bit of EQ, this thing has pretty good deep response. Only spent a little while with the BFD/REW, so it's not perfect. But it sounds much better after EQ...

    Small technical question from my part. On the PB13 BASH amp, is there any specs on howmuch the RCA input signal can/may be before clipping ? (I guess in mVolts peak-peak) So the GAIN "works in conjunction" with the level that you input on the BASH and together they represent an amount of total...
