I recently purchased an SPL meter, as I needed to properly balance my Ergo AMT headphones (the factory levels were way off
). I figure, now that I have one, I should break out my Stereophile Test CD and use the SPL meter to help better integrate the sub on my daughter's setup.
One thing that I don't like about her sub (Gallo TR-1) is that the crossover dial only has two numbers--50 on one end and 180 on the other. I don't know if the progression is logarithmic or linear, so I'm not exactly sure where to put the dial for 80, which is recommended by the company.
Is there a way to use the test CD and SPL meter to determine where the crossover should be set? One of the tracks on the CD is an 80Hz warble tone.
Also, there is a phase dial and volume dial. Any hints on how to dial these in correctly?
