That's something VERY important, and really - most music guys don't bother with that...
In being "calibrated" I think Mark is thinking of SPL level. In music mixing there is not a uniform guideline on the SPL of zero db, in the film business there is.

85db for nominal zero (-20) for theatres and 79db (-20) for small rooms.
