Thank you for adding this informative video... I recently ran ARC for a 2nd time on the AVM 70 and it ended up slightly changing my speaker levels at lower levels, way below 0 reference, also the two subs to even much lower levels than they were when I first ran it, with the exception of the main speakers, which are set at +4. Had to manually raise the subs to +7 and + 5, preference of mine. Thank you also for explaining the frequency slopes and for including the SPL meter level match demo, really helpful. Keep up the good work on this channel.
Sweet video and seriously nice feature on the Anthem . Got a marantz SR6015 amp. Audyssey(app) matched hem really well for speaker volume. Checked it with my umik 1 mic. and REW. Speaker distance was not correct and a little off. Tuned it wit REW and optimized by ear(more bass) Btw. Your canton speakers measure much lower than my canton 890dc. Didn't expect that. Got lots of room gain in 20hz frequency so it will compensate. Nice video!
Your first anthem review sent me toward a purchase but then all the Anthem Facebook page bug reports scared me away. So now your back with more insight and ways to make anthem work and im going to jump on a 740 in the fall in the hope by then more updates from Anthem will clean up the rest of the bugs. As far as level matching should you do this before running ARC in anthem or just let ARC Genesis take care of the level matching? Thanks for your great work. Your explanations are clean and clear and really help with new products
Nice Vid! One day I'll get an Anthem and I'll be using your tuts for adjusting. I'm using REW and have been for a couple of years but liking the interface on the ARC, looks sweet.
Hi Kspaceguy, Could you kindly explain why AVM70 doesn’t have the Auro 3d? Do you personally think 🤔 it can added or be addressed to Anthem Company. Or Do You think it’s not necessary? Please advise Your UA-cam followers. Thanks 😊 for All of Your incredible videos.🙏🏾👊🏽💯🙌🏽💯👊🏽🙏🏾
Thanks Kyle for the new video. I’m still really struggling between the Denton 8500HA or the anthem 1140. I presently own a marantz 7010 receiver and really love the simplicity of audessey. But I eventually want to move into separates and have heard great things about anthems. Sound quality and room correction. I just don’t want to be let down by the complexity and bug issues anthem has been dealing with. I know anthem has made great strides in this area. What do u think I should do. I really value your opinion. Thanks again.
Thanks for explaining and showing, not all of us are that familiar. Appreciate the extra time you take especially using the pics. Looking forward to your next vid. Have you heard anything about the avm90?
I may give this a try, last time I checked, that "test tone" option in the web interface did absolutely nothing, no sound, no reaction... nothing. It was pretty annoying when hooking up all my speakers and trying to figure out which wires are for which speaker.
@@Kpaceguy ua-cam.com/channels/IJHwsTJyrH4YznoJxZmJHQ.html he has lot of diy upgrade kits for various speakers, and on his site also sells custom diy speaker kits that apparently measure extremely well.
After you turn test tone on in the web UI you have to change a speaker level for it to play. From the same web page just change a speaker level up or down .5db and the test tone will play from that speaker. Sorry this is a year late but hoping it still helps!
Something is wrong with your front left speaker. Shouldn't dip that much. Swap them around see if that dip in lower frequency still follows the speaker
Hello, I have an issue with arc-1-M. I trying to use anthem correction for my anthem mrx 500 and every time I use it comes telling me ( Measurement procedure failed. Failed to find a valid microphone calibration file ). I installed the microphone on windows 10 and reconfigure it and it's working good in windows 10 so I don't know what else to do. I need your help please thank you so much for your effort. I just upgraded my system to the latest v50.25
Do you listen to all movies at reference level once you've calibrated to 75 db? Do you ever find that some movies are mixed low? Is 75db loud enough to set as the reference? I've never done it that way, but I'm going to when I get time. I typically just turn it up to 75 db, then balance from there. Im way off of the reference point of 0 when I do it.
Reference level is enough for most rooms. All but the big basements. Calibrating at reference level just helps protect the speakers and amplifiers. You can turn it past it safely if your levels aren't turned too high
Hi how are you ? Thanks for the video. Just curious how are you able to get the trims too negative ? I’ve had the AVM60 with no luck as well as with the AVM70. Any tips will be most welcomed. Thanks again. I enjoy your vids.
@@Kpaceguy thanks for your reply. It’s funny with Audyssey I’m at -2.0db with all speakers and subs but with Anthem we’re in the +5.5db etc all positive db. Still though the Anthem Arc I have to admit does a much better job than Audyssey.
Awesome video! I've just got anthem MRX1140 and MCA325 to go with it. I am having the problem of anthem making my speaker levels at plus10 db. How can this be corrected? I am running the latest software. Any feedback would be awesome!
Thank you so much, I will try and let you know the outcome? Live in NZ, and with the time difference, it will be tomorrow before I let you know. Have a great day!
I am waiting for my AVM70 - hopefully end of the month. I have a minidsp 2X4HD - would you recommend still using it or should I let anthem manage my two subs?
@@Kpaceguy sounds great! Super excited - first time having separates too. I get frustrated with the Minidsp anyways - never seems to be consistent. Probably due to lack of bass traps in my room??? Thanks!!!!
hey good afternoon question i also have it on 75 db i have 5.1.4 setup. have the klipsch rb 61 as high speaker only i want some more atmos sound. Have the crossover set to 60hz. what would you do?
@@Kpaceguy oh ok I see that in level calibration menu on the display screen of my avm90, how come you change this? Mine is set as default after running arc to 0db calibration level and my system wide is 75db, what’s the benefits of adjusting the calibration level before running arc?
Thanks for the response and the vids you make, I saw the one where you explained that you make these during your off time. I respect the effort you put. Are the atmos effects present on anthem at -40db? I usually listen to marantz at around the same level but have to use some of the audessey features to get those effects.
I was just looking at that, your system wide level is set to 95db? I believe default is 75db well at least mine is set that way. How come yours is set to 95db on the system wide graph Kpace?
@@Kpaceguy very cool. Probably a good time to be a car salesman these days. Or maybe not. Love your videos by the way. I think you’ve about convinced me to go Anthem. The MRX 1140. Sure hope it’s a good one!
@@Kpaceguy that’s the tricky part with this Anthem bc one needs to figure out the distance for the subs. I wonder why anthem Arc doesn’t set the distance. Have they updated the bass management for multiple subs?
So wrong no point doing db meter what so ever on the anthem only to set the sub before you run arc and you can do that with quick measure in the arc program your giving unnecessary info arc sets its own db speaker levels and should never touch them and same goes with the crossover it sets each speaker by messing with them defeats the purpose of arc doing its magic and ruins its room correction!!!!

I have all my speakers about 75db . I didn't know about I have to put my amp at reference level .Thankyou for the video clip. .

They'll never add it. It's rarely used in blurays and 4k Ultra disks that they don't feel the need to have it
Reference level on anthem is at -10db not 0db. Check the levels with the volume at -10 it should have all speakers close to 75db with ARC enabled.
High frequency roll off doesn't work unless you correct higher than 5k

@@Kpaceguy I balanced it to 75 db at 0. Yeah it's really loud. Too loud for my room. I like -10 or -12 after calibrating at 0 for 75.

It simply depends on the your speakers sensitivity rating, power supply and room size
@@Kpaceguy thanks for your reply. It’s funny with Audyssey I’m at -2.0db with all speakers and subs but with Anthem we’re in the +5.5db etc all positive db. Still though the Anthem Arc I have to admit does a much better job than Audyssey.
I am getting all speakers negative except heights..but sub is +4 and +8 dB
Heights are fine because it's so far away. Subs are fine because it has its own amplifier

Acoustic treatment goes a long way
Hi, one stupid question, shall I set all speaker distance before I run ARC?
You can if you want. Don't have to

Turn the atmos up
how many db would you do

@@njrumenos that setting is what I've left mine on. Turning it up changes the baseline volume the system is trying to balance at

It did far better than it use to. So well that I didn't bother to change what it did
@@Kpaceguy what did you use to set your subwoofer distance bc setting the exact distance isn’t correct bc it isn’t the right delay for it?
