Notes on Setting Speaker Volumes in 5.1-Channel Systems:
While setting your system’s individual speaker volume levels is ultimately up to your personal
taste, here are some ideas you may find helpful:
For films and video-music programs, your overall goal should be to create an enveloping,
t
realistic sound field that draws you into the film or music program without drawing your
attention away from the action on the screen.
For multichannel music recordings, some music producers will create a sound field that
t
places the musicians all around you; others will create a sound field that places the
musicians in front of you, with more subtle ambience in the surround speakers (as you
would experience in a concert hall).
In most 5.1-channel films, the surround channels are not intended to be as loud or as
t
active as the front channels. Adjusting the surround speakers so they are always as loud
as the front channels could make dialogue difficult to understand and will make some
sound effects sound unrealistically loud.
