Calibration Of Home Theater System By Audiohouse

[jonatan1312 0]

Hi,

Anyone had done the calibration of home theater system (HTS) by AudioHouse?

1. What is HTS calibration?

2. Is the calibration of HTS important?

3. AudioHouse quoted me $80 for calibration of HTS. Is it worth to engage them to calibrate the HTS?

Thanks,

Jonatan

Hi bro, sorry if none replied u. Don't need to engage them. Audio house trying to cheat u more money. To calibrate ur hts the simple way is to use ur own ears at ur listening position. More accurate way is to use a decibel meter. But since we all are not serious audiophile, u don't need to own a decibel meter. Just use ur precious ears to balance all the 5 or 7 speakers setup.

Firstly, did you get an AV Receiver for your home theatre?

If yes, the manual should have information regarding the calibration of the HT with its built in calibration system (Audyssey, YPAO etc) to help you calibrate your HT. It should set all the necessary parameters with regards to calibration. As we are not audiophile, this should be good enough start.

You may like to also check out this forum Xtremeplace where local Home Theatre enthusiast share ideals and opinions.

There are also apps in the Apple Apps store if you are using Iphone, some free, which can make the iphone into a decibel meter. Not as accurate as those professional ones but it will do the job.

Not too sure for Android tho.

Hope this helps.

For those who plan to get a HTS set, I will definitely recommend KEC. They provide you with all the details and free setup and calibration of your HTS even its a budget HTS.
