THis thread was created so to let me and others get an expert opinion of calibrating Home Theatre System (HTS) with minimal requirements for almost free of cost.
Requirement : Calibration (75db)
Application : Home theatre system (HTS) for both movies and music on 5.1 setup
Tools : Samsung S6 , Sound Meter for Android , Measuring Tape.
So guys i want to know if its correct to calibrate the HTS using Android device S6. Are the MIC in Phones accurate and show 75 db accurately?
I tried calibrating the HTS with Samsung S6 but i had to increase each speaker's level to 6 DB. My Samsung S6 Showed 75 DB on each speaker when i raised it to 6 DB at reference volume i.e 0 .
Then on settings on the App i made it to
C weighing and also
slow mode.
This calibration was done to my sweet spot which is in the center of the screen and room.
The thing is some of us here , im sure most of the people with Budget constraints must be having an Avr just like mine which doesn't have any calibration tool such as the entry level DENON AVR X500. Heck it doesn't even have a MIC port. SO that means i can't use an external mic if i had to.
