Audyssey XT Room Calibration help....
Bacardi- If you want detailed and accurate information, I suggest you read consult here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=795421 and, especially, read this: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=14456895#post14456895 Kal |
kal, if you ain't a cable guy then fine, but...the receiver generates the test tone which in turn travels through the speaker cables which then is reproduced by the speakers. it would stand to reason that, if one beleives cables make a difference in the sound of a system, then a change in cable would change the readings audysee takes on the test tones cuz they will "sound" different. yes? audysee reads frequency response, speaker loudness level, speed of the response, etc. cables can and do change these things. would you recalibrate if you changes speakers? same thing. IF you're a cable guy. anything behind that chain can't make a lick of difference. |
Well, Uncertainsmile, you do raise the two possibilities that I accept. Either one believes the cables make a difference or one does not believe they do. How would that affect one's need to recalibrate? If you do not believe, then there's certainly no reason to recalibrate. If you do believe that the cables made an improvement, then why would you want Audyssey to compensate and correct the change wrought by the cables you just paid for? So, you can have it either way. ;-) Kal |
dude, it calibrates for optimal response in your room. IF your cables change the response of your speakers then it affects audysee's readings and calibration adjustments. what makes you think that audysee would cancel any improvements made by a change in speaker cable. in theory it should ENHANCE any such changes, otherwise why use it? with that said, now that i think of it the signal sent to your sub via your sub cable would change if you switch cables, recalibrate then too. c'mon now, be reasonable. |
