Level Setting for Beginners


Level setting, done by ear, is more art than science. It can be done using an oscilloscope but since few people have one of those laying around we'll cover doing it by ear. Basically you want to start with the first component in the chain (the head unit) and work your way to the last component (the amplifier).

1. Start by turning all of the input level adjustment knobs (gain controls) on your components fully counter-clockwise (to their minimum setting). Set the tone controls (bass, treble, loudness) on your head unit to no boost (bass and treble level = 0 and loudness is off). If you have more than one RCA pair you will want to set each gain adjustment separately. Make sure your fader and balance controls are set to the channel you want to adjust first. This can be an individual channel if you have individual gain adjustments or a pair of channels if you have one gain for two channels.
   
2. Next set all of your equalizers settings (if you have an equalizer) to the center (detent) position so they produce no boost or cut. What we want is as pure a signal as possible.
   
3. Put in some good quality source material, preferably a CD with strong output and a clean recording. Hard rock would be a bad choice here. Try something cleaner, maybe acoustic, that you're familiar with.
   
4. Turn the deck's volume up slowly until you begin to hear distortion. When you hear it, stop and back off slightly until you no longer hear it. If you don't hear distortion, even when the volume is all of the way up then you have a quality head unit. That's what we're looking for.
   
5. Now with your head unit at maximum undistorted volume move on to the next component. Adjust it's input gain until you begin to hear distortion. Back off slightly.
   
6. Continue this process until you have all of the components in the chain at their maximum undistorted level.
   
7. When you reach the amplifiers you may need to wear earplugs to adjust them to their maximum level. As before, turn up the gain until you hear audible distortion. This should be audible even with earplugs in. But honestly, if you have to wear earplugs to listen the distortion level is probably not a factor
   

That's it. Play some music and verify that everything sounds right. Congratulations! You've just learned to properly adjust the settings on your car audio system.

setting d amp mcmna plak?

Sekarang mid oem waja clarion saya tukar dengan aftermarket clarion midbass ada tweeter di atasnya, 2 way speaker. lepas saya installnya, bunyinya tak setanding original. adakah head unit saya erlu di tukar? rasa rasanya?

apa yg tidak setanding? dari segi kekuatan bunyi atau sound quality?

kalau dari segi sound quality nya tidak setanding vs. OEM mid Waja, tu dari segi pemasangan la yg tidak berapa betul

lgpn klu men direct mmg x kuat uda bha 2 klu pkai mid len..sbb mid stndt brapa watts ja pn 2..

sorry kalo salah komen ye...kalo pakai 5 channel saoun dia x balance dgn erti kata saound dia lama2 main makin x sedap macam bateri week. kalo nak main memang kena asing amp untuk wofer n speaker. maaf lah ye sekadar pendapat budak baru.

tidak juga la bro..semua tu buli setting... masing2 punya setting tersendiri..ni menan sound mesti pandai setting..walaupapun cara wiring atau sound system kita pakai.. semua tu buli settle..

ohhh...gi2 ka???ermmm...nnt sya try...

ya loo0000 hehehehe

kalo x bole settle kta jumpa c didie utk settle...

ya ka bole. karang aku dtg kk cakap xnak lak. kahkahkah... ko sendiri pakai audio apa didie

ko teka la..ada gambar juga di topic upload photo sound system..on topic by BON..cua ko tgk sana..

nnt la aku cari.....memang semua leh setting tp nak bunyi terbaik kena la byk keluar duit. kalau setakat nak keluar bunyi semua leh pakai.

betul tu bro..apapun mau wat mesti pakai duit..ala standard la tue, pa2 brg pun mau wat mesti pakai duit..ekekekee
