Why does lossless audio require a higher volume setting?
ADVERTS 1
Always wondered why the True and Master tracks require a lot more juice.
Normal tv and dvd viewing are around -20 to -23 db's on my 1909, while the BR tracks get down to -13 to -16.
Not a big deal, just wondering.TC-P65GT30/DMP-BDT500

If I had to guess, it would be that true and master tracks are completely uncompressed. Normal tracks will be punched up a bit in the 200-800 Hz range.

The lack of compression is the reason. Rock and roll, for instance uses a lot of compression in order to sound "louder". These new codecs have a much wider dynamic range, so they're able to start with a lower recording level (the lower noise floor is another reason), and preserve the peaks in special effects, etc... This is a very simplified explanation, but I think you will get my drift here.

Yeah. What I like, and my wife hates, is I adjust volume for the voices, and when you hit an action scene it gets LOUD. It should be this way IMHO.

Use the dynamic volume control (green light) on the 1909 to temper the range of voice/action scenes. Originally Posted by elwaylite

Shes getting used to it. I let here hear the last 20 minutes of Transformers yesterday, cranked way higher than we normally watch. She actually thought it was great how well everything sounds now.

No wife now, and the kids love the big booms even more than I do. Originally Posted by Paul Wozniak

No wife, no kids, and no neighbors...! Gets lonely sometimes, but there is absolutely no issue with the volume when I really want to experience it...until I blow a speaker...! (Been there, done that...twice !!)
