Totally agree with you! Rightly asked!

3) crossover should be in your speaker setting of your receiver, the unit is Hz.

noob way diy use fone app to match db

I tried adjusting the speaker channels individually, i increased left/right to 3db & center to 2db, seemed to help a bit. Is there a recommended db for these?

if you are using PII for normal listening do not increase ur FL/FR vol further as that is where ur main music will comes in.. dialog is from your center.. maybe change back to Pro Logic II mode and tune back ur FL/FR and see if thats something you want.

There's no recommended DB and it varies from system and environment. During initial setup when you install your mic for calibration, system will auto match all level so that all speakers are balanced.

I think you may want to try to do another round of calibration. Learn how to do it properly and from there only you fine tune it.

1) There then, is your problem. Not only is it off center, the edge of the table is also causing refraction issues for the center channel because it acts like like reflection point.

2) The tweeter should be at your ear level when you sit down. This is important.

3) Crossover is the setting of a point where your speaker crosses lower frequencies it can play well to the subwoofer. A good starting point is usually 80hz, but depending on room and speakers you may want to increase it further.

As for @bolded
That's not the way to level match. In order to level match, you need to have an SPL meter (or use your phone if you want, don't expect accurate results of course) and you sit at your main listening spot. Then you set the volume to 0db, play a pink noise (most receivers has an option to enable pink noise) and check the SPL. All speakers should be reporting 75db, if one isn't you either increase or lower it until it is. This includes the sub as well. After all your speakers are 75db, you can then add 1-2db to your center channel and another 3-6db on your sub. This is the easiest way for beginner to get their speakers playing properly.

Newbie to the soundbar world. Bought the Q950A. Sound amazing.

That is a good start

I’m interested in that too. Does the room calibration feature work with the soundbar itself? Or does it only work when paired with the Samsung TV

Hi sifus,

with a budget of around 4k, which should I choose, dolby atmos soundbar (Samsung Q950A) VS dedicated 5.1 surround speaker?

If 5.1 surround, how to choose the speaker, sub, receiver?

The system will be installed in the living room, mainly for music and movie

With 4k you can start with a pair of bookshelf speaker and AVR, slowly build up your system.

Just buy home theater in a box. HTIB.

U meant for Q950A? I just search from shopee.

Hi, could I ask your room setup? Can the Q950A rear speakers be placed at the side of your sofa and still get the Atmos effects?

Reason I’m asking is cos my sofa is already backed up against wall, can’t position the rear speakers behind the sofa.

Appreciate your advice. Thank you
