About Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality 
as  volume is decreased by taking  into  account  human  perception  and 
room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey 
MultEQ
®
  XT  to  provide  well-balanced  sound  for  every  listener  at  any 
volume level.
Reference Level Offset : Audyssey Dynamic EQ takes the standard film 
mixing level of 85 dB SPL during –20 dB FS input as its reference level. 
However,  since  standardization  is  lacking  outside  the  film  industry,  the 
reference  level  of  media  contents  may  not  be  appropriate.  In  order  to 
view such contents, Reference Level Offset of Dynamic EQ has available 
offsets of 5 dB, 10 dB and 15 dB. 
0dB : Suitable for viewing movies. 
5dB : Suitable for listening to classical music and other content mixed 
at a high level. 
10dB : Suitable for listening to jazz and other audio sources with a wide 
dynamic range. Also suitable for viewing TV. 
15dB : Suitable for listening to pop, rock music and other content with an 
extremely wide dynamic range. 
 Setting is enabled when “Dynamic EQ” is “ON” (vpage 75).
