calibration

Calibration in measurement technology and metrology is the comparison of measurement values delivered by a device under test with those of a calibration standard of known accuracy. Such a standard could be another measurement device of known accuracy, a device generating the quantity to be measured such as a voltage, or a physical artefact, such as a metre ruler.
The outcome of the comparison can result in no significant error being noted on the device under test, a significant error being noted but no adjustment made, or an adjustment made to correct the error to an acceptable level. Strictly, the term calibration means just the act of comparison, and does not include any subsequent adjustment.
The calibration standard is normally traceable to a national standard held by a National Metrological Institute.

    Question about modifying speaker levels after Audyssey calibration for Denon receiver

    I have a Denon AVC-X3800H receiver If I modify the speaker volume levels in Audyssey settings after I’ve done the calibration with the mic is that a bad idea? I find the levels are a bit off with some speakers (surrounds being too high and fronts being too low) But anyway if I increase the...

Initially, I shrugged off the importance, relying on calibration voodoo for sonic cohesion. Yet, a recent sonic odyssey threw me into the abyss of dissonance, particularly during the...
