I wish they would put this information in the movie's metadata so we could display it and adjust our listening levels accordingly rather than just guessing.

I'm personally using the level of talking to choose how loud a movie should play.<br>In a normal scene where people are talking I put it just about how loud it would be if they were talking in reality. Maybe a tad bit more.<br><br>Are y'all doing it like this as well or what do you look at to set the volume?

Hats off to Poes Acoustics for another great video. You keep on delivering insiders thought and informational thoughts that are needed for consumers to be able to make better well-informed decisions for setting up their systems. This particular video and the other one that discuss about RP22 imply so many important considerations that need to be realized before overdo/overcomplicated things.

Man this reference level Rabbit Hole keeps getting deeper. I wish they'd just put the Reference Level in the credits or on the movie case slip cover

Thank you for this video and sharing your knowledge on here. Do you know if the Kaleidescape versions of these films are being mixed the same way as the other home release versions or are they closer to the theater releases?

Just as a point of interest, Dolby's Atmos Room Design Tool for mix rooms defaults to a 79dB monitoring level.

Very good video, I've had my 7.3.4 system for about 6 years now and have struggled to understand reference level, until now. My room is 13'5" × 17' so it's pretty small. Reference level is pretty loud at my house.(-14, anthem 1140) I do listen at a level I like, which is louder than most people like that I have over. But now I know how close I am to reference when I'm watching a movie. Pretty cool, thanks.

Reference level 85dB at MV-20dB has been for years. Increase your LFE 6-8dB to make Top Gun Maverick stand out
