How to calibrate a home theater?

cabinet where the home theater is located, a good position could be.

As for the speakers, their location depends on the user's space and preferences, but the ideal thing is that they are in the corners of the room and that they are not entirely in front, they have to be a slight tilt of about 30 ° and often point to the middle of the space to be conditioned in order to have a good distribution of the audio.

Calibration via menu

The next step is to locate the existing audio options within the home theater configuration menu once the speakers have been arranged and linked in the desired way, where it is necessary to find the option to calibrate decibels to perform horn-by-horn settings. This move is to make sure the sound isn't flat.

With relation to the center speaker, decibel adjustment can be achieved. The suggestion is that since it is the source of the sound of the equipment and the others are just the help, this one has a little more power than the others. For example, it is in the center speaker that the sounds of the voices of the characters are repeated, so it is at the same level as the others, you will actually have to turn up the volume a lot to hear the voices well, but it won't be sufficient if you keep it a few decibels above this.

In some home theater models there are also options to indicate to the equipment how far the user will be from the front side speakers and the center speaker, as well as the space between them and those that are placed in the back, with the This is to optimize the delay in the sound for a better surround experience.

Adjustment review

The ideal is often to conduct a tone test after calibrating the decibels of each speaker to see whether the equipment was correctly calibrated or whether it is appropriate to continue adjusting. There are home theater models that have the option of audio testing (Test tone), but if you don't have the option at hand, what you can do is just start using the equipment by putting yourself in the position to begin living the experience as if it were already one hundred percent and making the required changes from the experience and the test and error process.

Finally, after calibrating the speakers according to the user's preferences and appreciation, the only thing left is to sit down to enjoy a good movie or TV series with the peace of mind that the audio will be distributed in the room as determined by the individual and not as it comes from the factory.
