About Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality
as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and
room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey
MultEQ ® to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume
level.
Reference Level 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. The 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.
• 0dB (Film Ref) : This is the default setting and should be used when
listening to movies.
• 5dB : Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range,
such as classical music.
• 10dB : 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.
• 15dB : 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.
Setting is enabled when "Dynamic EQ" is "ON" (vpage 71).
