Sub Mini configuration

Hello Everybody,

I have just purchased a Sub Mini, this one is linked with two Era 100.

I use these devices only for music, for you what is the best configuration ? Loudness on or loudness off ? What is the volume of your Sub Mini ?

At this point, I have put the loudness to off and the volume of the Sub Mini is 14 and all of these devices has a Trueplay.

Thank you forward for your feedback.

Kind regards.

I’d suggest setting everything to flat and running Trueplay. Listen to it for a few hours to get your ears used to the sound, then try tweaking things.

I’ve found very different settings sound best to me in different rooms.

The Loudness option does sound good to my ears at lower volumes but when trying to listen without disturbing others it works best off. Turning the Sub off in that situation also helps.

Ultimately, only you know what sounds “best” (to you). Don’t be afraid to dislike settings that another individual claims are “great”.

I suggest that you search for “loudness compensation” and study its purpose. Since the loudness compensation schemes incorporated in hardware are only approximations and each individual’s hearing and room is unique, the function does not work well for everyone.

Your room layout and acoustics, hard/soft furnishings will all play into the equation. As @buzz says, let your ears decide what’s best.
Personally, I do tend to play a bit with the settings for my kit, depending on the genre of music I’m playing, the volume I’m listening at, and my mood at the time!
