volume control that doesn’t over-emphasize the bass or make it
sound weak (see Figure 6).
The most accurate way to set the volume control is with calibrated
test noise or test tones and a sound-pressure level (SPL) meter
or real time analyzer. There are several CDs and DVDs that
contain subwoofer test signals. If you use an SPL meter, set the
subwoofer’s volume control so that it plays at the same volume as
the system’s other speakers.
