Ok, so after calibrating the speakers dialogue should be around -20 -15 to leave room for music and effects and still all together be around -10, right? Also, do you have any idea how to calibrate the tascam 1884? It does not match what I have on pro tools or logic on the master meter and I've been reading around a lot but I can't find any info about it Thanks so much for all the help you provide!

Music is mixed up as close to zero as possible due to the "loudness wars" - google it for more information. That's a totally different application to mixing for TV and film, where there is intended to be headroom and dynamic range. Most peaks for TV dont go over -10 or -8 dbFS, nowhere near zero.

I have a question, I did exactly what you show us and the pink noise at -20 RMS and -79 on SPL meter sounds for some reason a little loud to my ears. If I leave the speakers like that and I play a song from the computer through my speakers will be blasting. Also, the meters on my tascam 1884 is reading -16 db coming out of Pro Tools while calibrating each speaker. Am I doing something wrong? Can you help me out here? thanks man!

If you DO have output trims then you can use those if you like. The goal is to get all the speakers proportional to each other and at the correct levels - all the same at the front, the surrounds down 3dB if you are working in film, or the same at the rears if you are working in broadcast/TV/DVD.

I just have one question. When testing/calibrating each speaker individually were you turning the volume knobs on the rear of the near-field monitors or on your interface itself? Many thanks in advance for any further direction you can spare. Greetings Brent,
