Questions, answered.

We calibrate home theater audio, from living rooms to dedicated cinemas, and we start by measuring what your room and system are actually doing. Changes are guided by those measurements, written down, and checked again afterward.

It is a free 30-minute conversation by FaceTime, or a review of a short video you send of your room and system. We talk through what you are hearing and what you want, and point out what looks worth checking. Nothing is measured remotely, so it is not a diagnosis. If it makes sense, the next step is an on-site System Health Check.

No. We work with the equipment you already own. If a consultation shows that an upgrade would help, we say so and explain why. Equipment is quoted separately at actual cost, and you are welcome to supply your own.

The Health Check is a one-hour professional checkup of your settings and setup, with recommendations on the spot. Soundbar Setup is hands-on setup of a soundbar you own, balanced by ear. The Consultation and Baseline Measurement brings the measurement microphone, captures real data at your main listening position, and delivers a written summary. The first two do not include measurement or a written report.

The model names of your equipment, or photos of the labels. Photos of your room and setup. Where you normally sit. The apps and logins you use for your streaming and your soundbar or receiver. And a scene or song that sounds wrong to you.

The Consultation includes a written summary of measured performance and observed constraints. Calibration packages include a full report with before-and-after measurements, settings and filter files. The Health Check and Soundbar Setup give recommendations on the spot, with no written report.

No. We measure, change what the data points to, and measure again. Results depend on your room and your equipment, and we do not guarantee a subjective outcome. What we do promise is to show you what we measured and what we changed.

We use Dirac Live, and we can set up and check the room correction built into many receivers and processors, such as Audyssey MultEQ, Anthem ARC and Yamaha YPAO, depending on what your equipment includes. Whichever system you have, we measure with REW before and after, so you can see what changed. Where you have more than one subwoofer, we use multi-sub tools such as Multi-Sub Optimizer with miniDSP. Ask us about yours.
