Audio Calibration

What is this all about?

If you have ever bought a sound system, especially a surround sound system, and tried wiring up the amplifier and working through the menu of features. You have probably come across things like Delay, Speaker Distance, Test Tone, Phase, X-over, Large or Small Speakers and a host of other choices and options. These are there for a reason, but are widely misunderstood, misused or most commonly, ignored.

Setting up audio properly gets the best quality out of your hard earned money. It is a pretty sure bet that you are not getting your moneys worth NO matter how good your sound system is. This is perfectly understandable, it is not easy, and there are many things to consider.

Small room acoustics are complex and maximising your system will take time, effort and the right test equipment, but the rewards are huge. Imagine getting rid of that annoying boom or squeaky top end, being able to clearly hear every word spoken in a movie and being able to close your eyes and "see" exactly where every sound is coming from. We call it soundstage. Even if you "think" your system is great, you will be stunned by the improvements you will get when it is properly calibrated.

Subwoofers! There is a good chance your sound system is working hard generating sounds you can't even hear. Oh they are there, but complex room "modes" can mean that where you are sitting you could be just the spot where there is nothing to be heard at specific frequencies. We can help resolve that.
