I have been using the J for about 4 months now and am finally getting around to calibrating it and had some questions.
Equipment: Panasonic RP91 SDI -> 68J -> Bryston 9BST -> B&W 804S/HTM3S/602S3/Velodyne DD12
Initial setup: I used mconfig to setup all speakers as small, all bass to the sub, crossovers at 80hz.
With the default display of 65 on the J, the SPL meter reads 67(+/-).
The DD12 was auto-eq'd.
The sound has been great so far.
I am now about to calibrate and define filters using mconfig and had a few questions.
- Do I HAVE to go thru' the calibration routine before using MRC. The speakers seem within a db of each other right now
- The manual for the MRC shows a screenshot where the volume goes up to 87 - I am (probably needlessly) worried my speakers might bust
- Is it possible to use the velo mic with a xlr - rca adapter instead of the radio shack SPL meter
Thanks a lot for any hints.
