Basically levels all the volume between commercials etc. I can’t stand that shitt. To each his own though. Reactions: Hetfield

Dinamic Volume widens frequency when Volume is low. Works very well. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

H Hetfield Audioholic Samurai Nov 23, 2016 2,781 0 63 50 Nov 20, 2021 #112 Yeah I'm glad I went back to the original Audyssey settings. This sounds really, really good. The 520C sound excellent, dialog is intelligable. It all sounds balanced and quite excellent. Watching "Toy story 3" with the kid right now at -25 which is pretty low and dialog is perfectly intelligable, and clear. Audyssey reference, offset 0. I'm glad I made the move to JBL studio speakers. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

The volume manager under surround parameters enables dynamic range compression adjustments. Dvolume adjusts the dynamic range in the fly so the loud and quiet parts are closer to each other. Makes it so quiet parts are closer to the volume of louder parts. Edit2: widens frequency when volume is low. What exactly does that mean? If you mean boosts low and high Frequencies then yes. That’s dynamicEQ. Looks like this directly from the processor. It doesn’t “widen” anything. It just boosts what’s already there at lower volume. Last edited: Nov 20, 2021

Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk Click to expand... I personally don’t like DEQ, as I use a minidsp to creat my own house curve, and usually listen at fairly high volumes. DEQ also boosts surround levels, AND rear tops. But not front tops. That’s really odd imo. Like I said though, to each his own. Mileage included lol.

I live in a townhouse and I'm constantly worried about neighbors. I honestly don't know how I haven't a neighbor come over with a gun. I mean I try like hell to be good, respectful, and a good neighbor. I have never, not once had this HT over -20. That's the loudest I go with it. The subs though, we all know that travels. What really stinks is it's like having a Ferrari but can't go over 50 MPH. [emoji24] Need a house soon! I'm doing some research on acoustic panels and treatments. I've done this before and gave up because it gets too complicated and too expensive and annoying. I'm looking at it a bit. The back wall I'm 100% sure could use some absorbtion. Not a ton, just a bit. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk Reactions: Pogre
