75 or 85 dB calibration? - Blu-ray Forum

Eldorado · 12-23-2008, 12:40 AM

I have decided to recalibrate my speakers after installing my Blu-ray player. They were calibrated to 75 db for the DVD setup. Should I change it to 85 dB now?

Unless your receiver says otherwise, stay with 75db. 85db is for commercial theaters. If you have an SPL meter, read Calibrating Your Audio with an SPL Meter.

I calibrated my Klipsch speakers with a SPL meter at 75db. I ran everything a little hot though. 78db.
