Author Topic: DTS subwoofer level Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 09-06-2002 07:59 PM                    I am not that familure with the later designs of Cinemarks theaters. I do know they no longer use the double block thicknesses between the auditoriums anymore. I think they use an one block thicknes with concrete poured down the holes in the blocks. The theater I work at now was supposedly the last theater to use the two thicknesses of blocks between each theater. No problems with bleedover have been apparent to me.  |  IP: Logged Karen Hultgren Master Film Handler Posts: 492 From: Agoura Hills, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-09-2002 05:41 PM                        Setting DTS subwoofer depends on what unit you have. If it is a player that is connected to a cinema processor, then use a DS3 setup disc and set all DTS channels for 300mB RMS or to the buss level of you cinema processor. Most CPs are 300mV, but check with your CP manufacturer to be sure. If it is a DTS-6AD (cinema processor and digital player in one unit), then you would use the internal pink noise generator to set levels. You would not use a setup disc on this unit. The setup disc can be used to verify that the drives are working but should not be used to set levels. Karen at DTS  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

The processor in this case, is a Dolby CP-500.  |  IP: Logged Karen Hultgren Master Film Handler Posts: 492 From: Agoura Hills, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-10-2002 06:59 PM                        I believe the buss level on the CP500 is 300mv.
