Denis,

Sit in your normal listening position. *I presume that you might have the Radio Shack analog sound level meter? *Put it in the C weighted position. *Hold the meter away from your body at ear level with the sensing end pointed straight up to the ceiling. *Check out the sound levels of all the different frequencies. *Adjust the EQ, tone controls or whatever means you have to raise or lower the levels at each frequency. *Sometimes the only way to accomplish this is to move the speakers (which can change the frequency response) or open a door or change the accoustics of the room (placement of the speakers, carpeting, drapes, furniture, etc). *Try to get all the frequencies to be as close to the same decibel level as possible by using these methods. *Start with a level of about 80 decibels at a midrange frequency, say about 1000Hz and then try to adjust all the other frequencies to as close to this level as possible. *whew! I'm out of breath! * * * *<img src="images/smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="big grin" class="inlineimg" />
