With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound
even when listening at low volume levels.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating
sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into
account human perception and room acoustics. It does so
by selecting the correct frequency response and surround
volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content
sounds the way it was created at any volume level — not
just at reference level.
■ Reference Level
Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset
` 0dB:
This should be selected for movie contents.
` 5dB:
Select this setting for content that has a very wide
dynamic range, such as classical music.
` 10dB:
Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a
wider dynamic range. This setting should also be
selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at
10 dB below film reference.
` 15dB:
Select this setting for pop/rock music or other
program material that is mixed at very high listening
levels and has a compressed dynamic range.
