No offence meant but try a search with the word calibrating spelt correctly.

offenSe?

Clearly if we discuss spelling mistakes, we could be here all day.

Sooo....Are you using a DAW based system with your A7's? The reason I ask is IK Multimedia released a new system called the ARC System. (Advanced Room Control System.) ARC functions as a plugin to calibrate your system based on use with your DAW, a measurement microphone for analysis, and the room itself. I have heard good things about the system overall, but it is obviously worthless if you are not using a DAW. If you are, I would recommend looking into this though as it would be a very easy to use solution for you, and just what you may need.

ARC

Cheers.

a signal generator for test tones and a cheap radio shack spl meter is all you need. Set the meter to C weighted and match the level of each speaker while playing a 1khz tone.

Very true. I assumed he meant calibrating in terms of compensating for his room/acoustical environment.

Jenkzy, If you are just looking to calibrate volume between the 2 A7's, what recall said is the way to go.

If you are looking for an easy solution to compensate for your environment, I would suggest reading more about the ARC system I mentioned earliar.

Cheers.

improper spelling but a lack of clarity

Actually, I was right. OffenSe is the American spelling. OffenCe is English.
