correct method to adjust levels for a sq system! Maybe I made a mistake!

[QUOTE="surreal89, post: 8872671, member: 690803"] you were very clear. but I only have to do this method with the microphone passing it from one side of the ear to the other when I take measurements of the general frequency response, right? to adjust the levels of each speaker I have to fix the microphone in a single point at head height without moving it anymore, right? I start a pink noise and measure the db of all the speakers with spl meeter, setting them all equal. or do I have to use the first method also for the levels?.. the gain of the amplifiers were measured with SMD. I can ask you if it is right to set the master volume of the source to 30/40, bring all the levels to 75db except for the sub of which I can also control it from the front as desired with the remote, however in the measurements I keep it around 85/90db ..but anyway I can adjust it later. but going back to 75db you think it's okay to stick to this volume and in case of need since I have the master volume from the source and on 30/40 I can increase from there bringing everything to 85db in case of need. if instead I already set everything to 85db, then I won't have any safety margin let's say. or perhaps you set the source volume to maximum and then adjusted the levels until you reached 85 dB. so at maximum volume you stay in the range you chose. I think my method is fine too, what do you think? I already start conservatively and if necessary increase from the master volume [/QUOTE]
