Calibrating Additional Speaker Systems
Repeat the steps above for your other monitoring systems, making
sure to zero each system’s Speaker Output trim in step 2 and
pressing the appropriate speaker-system button in step 4.
After you’ve set up additional monitoring systems, you can test your calibrations by
playing audio through Speaker A only and then—making no other adjustments—
toggling Speaker A off and Speaker B on. You may hear a slight tonal variance due to
the different acoustic properties of the monitoring systems but the loudness should
remain consistent. If it doesn’t, you may want to recalibrate your speaker systems.
Calibrating a Subwoofer
If you’re calibrating a speaker system with an independent subwoofer, such
as a 2.1 system, repeat steps 4 and up, with the following changes:
• Press the Speaker C button to light it; make sure all
other speaker buttons are turned off.
• Pan your pink noise to the center in step 5.
• For step 6, use 40 Hz to 80 Hz, bandwidth-limited pink noise.
1.1.7 Calibrate the Talkback Microphone
1. Zero the Main Output level, Talkback level, Cue output, individual headphone
level, and Dim attenuation knobs by turning them fully counterclockwise.
2. Connect headphones to any one of the Phones outputs and select Cue as the
source by pressing the corresponding Source button so that it latches in its
down position.
3. Play some typical audio, such as a song on your phone or an
existing project, and select that audio source as your only
input to the Cue bus, as described in Section 4.1.2.
4. Put on the headphones you connected in step 2 and set them to a
comfortable listening volume by turning up the corresponding Level knob.
5. Engage the talkback microphone by pressing the Talk button;
the level of the audio in your headphones is lowered.
6. Begin speaking into the talkback microphone, slowly turning up the
talkback Level knob until you can hear yourself speaking through the
headphones but your voice isn’t loud enough to annoy the performers.
