Overview
(Silicon Chip Magazine April '04) Setting up a home theatre system? Want to adjust all the speaker levels precisely? Here is the way to do it, with this handy little Loudspeaker Level Meter. It has its own inbuilt microphone and a 10-LED bargraph display to let you quickly set all channels to the same relative level. And you can use it to set up the levels in a PA system as well.
You might think it is a straightforward matter to set up the levels in your home theatre system but depending on your room layout and the physical positioning of the various speakers, it can be surprisingly tricky. This is especially the case when you are trying to get an overall good balance at a number of listening positions.
Without the correct balance, the surround effect will not be the best it can be. Balance between the centre speaker and the left and right channels is critical since they present the front sound-scape. And as is often the case in many home theatre systems, if the centre loudspeaker is too dominant, it will detract from the imaging.
With the Loudspeaker Level meter, you can set up the levels accurately and quickly. It is just a small box with a 10-LED bargraph display on the front. Controls include the power switch and a level adjustment. On the base is a small electret microphone for monitoring the sound level from the loudspeaker.
