Hi Bob,
If I recall correctly from when I set up my monitoring, you recommended (or specified) bandwidth limited pink noise. I don't remember the exact frequencies (250Hz - 3kHz?).
Is this something you still recommend, or can 'full range' pink noise be used just as well?
Cheers,
Thor

This sets up the 0 dB point of the monitor, but that point will be VERY VERY VERY loud for all but some classical music recordings, dynamic home theatre, and some audiophile records.
You will have to attenuate and somewhere between -6 and -8 dB on the monitor controller will correspond with approximately a K-14 for many types of pop music.
Does this guarantee a good-sounding, "musical" result? Of course not. How it sounds is the key in the end. I'm just helping to provide some tools that can be good guidance.
