Looks as if I will have to tweak the Monolith's own cross-over settings - if I chop off the upper frequencies at source, the test tone volume might improve. If your video quality is not attractive and appealing for the users, you will not gain attention, and your fans will not stick to you. Video settings play an essential role in live streaming. I've always relied on Pioneer receivers to control that but the Arcam's loud test tones could indicate that they are active across the whole range of the sub both before and after calibration. In this way, you would set the best quality audio settings for your OBS studio for your live streaming. I think part of the problem might be the Monitor's frequency range. He has some very expensive microphones but maybe not usb ones! I have a friend who is an acoustics consultant so post lockdown I'll see if I can borrow some of his gear and redo the Dirac adjustment. It sounds great albeit at the moment, the sub level is deliberately set a bit high so that I can back off the sub's own volume control to get a result that I'm happy with. I'm now using my earlier Dirac calibration but that also needed the sub level boosting in the Input menus. The ipad's mic will not have been accurate at that frequency range but even so, the test tone was so loud that I wasn't that happy playing it for any length of time. I started off with using an ipad pro for basic adjustment, which did a very good job with the speaker levels overall - at least subjectively they sounded the same at the listening point, but the subwoofer test tone needed to be much louder, 85dbC+, to give a useable result.
