When playing the audio test tones from DVE, how do I adjust each speakers level?
We could start by hoping you have something like the Radio Shack sound level meter for measuring the level of audio coming from each speaker. The meter is fairly inexpensive. Once you have it the object is to balance the volume among all of the channels so that they are equal, then turn up the main volume control until it reaches + 75 dB on the meter to obtain the reference volume level used to mix the program. We should mention that we seldom listen at reference level, finding that point about 10 dB louder than we need to hear the program. The real objective is to make all of the channels equal in level then set the main volume control wherever it is comfortable for you. How do you accomplish that? Setting the volume of each channel should be something easy to do but you’ll have to determine how from the owner’s manual. My amplifier has a small button for each channel on the front panel. I just press it and turn the main volume control knob to set the level of the individual channel.
