According to Warren Mansfield, director of consumer technology for THX, the process of calibrating audio in a home theater is important because it enables homeowners to reproduce movie soundtracks in their homes the way the audio engineers intended.

“Calibrating receivers/preamps not only balances each channel so that you get matched sound levels from each speaker, but also calibrates the overall level so that 0 dB on the volume control represents the industry standard ‘Reference Level’ in the listening position,” he says. “This is the same level at which the movie was originally mixed and played theatrically. Only THX Certified products do this in the home.”

The above is taken from the article: Five Easy Steps to Superior Home Theater Sound by Robert Archer on ElectonicHouse.com. This article post has been my most clicked on article I have post on twitter to date. Check out the article. Its has some really good tips.

Till next time,
