**Note: While all other surrounds are set to 77db, I found a better ATMOS experience with setting the ATMOS speakers to 80db.

Setting the proper db level of each of your speakers can really improve the surround sound experience from your system. By lowering the surround speakers 3db below the fronts, movies will be heard the way they were meant to be without too much from the surrounds. Using an SPL meter can help achieve the ideal db levels, and is also an effective tool for subwoofer integration - ensuring they are delivering the perfect amount of bass.
