|   HK avr 320 question | sure1
Aug 1, 2002 5:26 AM | | I just started setting up my new receiver and have
noticed that it appears that I really have to crank the
volume to get sound at a fairly audible level (-55 or so).
I have relatively efficient Angstrom speakers, so I am
curious as to whether this is my unit or normal for this
unit. Any thoughts? Thanks |
| Is your volume control calibrated in dB? | KiD SmokE

| Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. N/T | sure1

Aug 1, 2002 12:48 PM | | I have an h/k AVR 520 and I'm listening to the radio right now at -25dB. It's about as loud as I can go without fear of getting kicked out of my apartment. -55dB on a 320 is NOT what I'd call "cranking it". Now, if you'd said that you have to put it up to 0db or higher to get a "fairly audible level", then I'd say you have a problem.
FYI, on my 520 (I don't know if yours is different) I programmed the default volume setting to -30dB. On the OSD go to Advanced, then to Default Vol. Set. This way you don't have to start from -55db or whatever.
Good luck. |
