Hi,
I'm trying to calibrate a new HT system I recently setup. Does anybody know if there's a link I can download the 80Hz tone for calibration of the sub? Thanks.

you don't want to calibrate with a single tone.

You should use a disc like AVIA or pink noise.

I'm new to this. Any help will be appreciated.
According to step #6 of attached document, a 80Hz tone is needed for final adjustment. Thoughts?

Yeah...but did you read all the steps before you got to that point?

The 80hz tone is to see if there is a smooth transition from the mains to the sub.

Before you get to that point you should use something like Avia to set the levels/calibrate. I believe AVIA also has an 80hz tone.

That is a good document. Where did you get it? Follow it, and you should do fine.

I got this off one of the posts in this great forum a while back. Can't remember which thread though.

sivadselim,

I download the tones from this site but don't hear any sound from it. I can see the frquency graph while playing but no sound, Do i need to do something more?

Thanks
