Sound setup Beovision 11

Setup is Beovision 11­ and 2x Beolab 9.
When I watch a movie­ I use film/moviemode­ and soundmode is als­o film/movie. 
Speaker role BV11 is­ centre front 2x.
Beolab 9 is front le­ft and front right.

Is it normal in this ­setup that I can hear­ speech/voices loud a­nd clear through the ­Beolabs 9?
Even when a person i­s in the middle of th­e screen?

For my liking I can h­ear them too loud ove­r the Beolabs! !
Is there a setup to ­get this fixed or not­? I thought the BV11 ­would concentrate mor­e on speech and the B­eolabs 9 the bass and­ other sound. 
I hope there is a se­tup for this but ther­e are so much setting­s that I do not know ­what to do now.

 

Thanks for any reply.

Depends on if your material is surround or not. If it has surround then the sounds should be out correctly. If stereo the system has to figure out what sounds is going where. It's not able to understand what is voice and sharp noises could just as well be other noises meant for the right or left channel. The system just tries to adjust it a bit.

You can lower the volume of the beolabs in the setup. You can also chose another way to convert the sound.

There's also the SOUND MODE... Adaptive, Drama , Speech... etc... try different ones to see which suit your listening preferences.

I have the same setup as you. I've got a BV11-55 and 2 BL9's I was having the issue of the center channel (voices mostly) being too soft compared to the BL9s L and R channel. There are many ways to adjust these settings but the route I chose was to adjust the sound settings for each channel by tweaking the dB in the menu options under, sound > adjustment. I made the center channel slightly louder than default. 

I have to say though, that the sound mix for television and movies varies from channel to channel and from movie to movie, so there's no perfect setup.

Thank you guys for the info. All makes sense to me and after my 9 days holiday in Portugal I will try the suggestions you made. I will be back. Cheers.

Sorry, double.

Im Sure you Will find a good solution. I too have bl9 (and avant 55). So almost the same setup. But the avant has a microphone that can measure the volume.

I currently have my BL9s at -3,5dB and my tv at -5,5dB.

Hi Michael

Why do you have them set as minus? I have mine set as positive.

I'm curious as well, I have mine set slightly positive as well.

I was curious about that too. I believe my microphone did that. I'm not sure. Maybe Geoff could help us out. :)
