Ref.Lev.Offset
Audyssey Dynamic EQ
®
is referenced to the standard film mix level. It
makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround
envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However,
film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film
content. Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets
from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be
selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.
Recommended setting levels for content are shown below.
0 dB (Film Reference)
(Default):
Optimized for content such as movies.
5 dB :
Select this setting for content that has a
very wide dynamic range, such as
classical music.
10 dB :
Select this setting for jazz or other music
that has a wider dynamic range. This
setting should also be selected for TV
content as that is usually mixed at 10 dB
below film reference.
15 dB :
Select this setting for pop/rock music or
other program material that is mixed at
very high listening levels and has a
compressed dynamic range.
0
Setting is enabled when “Dynamic EQ” is “On”. (v p. 152)
o
Dynamic Volume

movies and other content (between quiet passages and loud
passages, etc.) by automatically adjusting to the user’s preferred
volume setting.

Most adjustment to softest and loudest
sounds.
Medium:
Medium adjustment to loudest and
softest sound.
Light:
Least adjustment to loudest and softest
sounds.
Off

If “Dynamic Volume” is set to “Yes” in “Audyssey
®
Setup”, the setting is
automatically changed to “Medium”. (v p. 168)
