I am talking about making adjustments for speaker levels, screen settings using cool tools like meters to eliminate echoes, make colour sharps and balance sound.
The cost of hiring for this service can be around $1000 depending on how complex your setup is.
Do you think it is worth spending that much to get the balance you need for your sound and visual setup or is it a pass for you? Have you hired any experts for this or did you make use of DIY to achieve a good result? Let me know what you think.
I get the urge to always refer to experts when it comes to stuff like this. I was once in that situation when I purchased my first system. I felt like calling in the experts to run the calibration services for me, but paying around 900 bucks as at then put me off.
I made the decision to do it myself with some basic tools and by watching a couple of tutorials online. I got a sound level meter online, moved furniture around the room to cut down echos and also watched some videos online to see how I can adjust colors, sharpness and brightness on the screen till I got it right.
It took me three weekends to get it done, but I really enjoyed the experience of doing it myself while saving a large chunk of the money that I would have paid the pros to come do it.
As at then, spending that much to hire someone for a service that I can handle wasn't the best move for me. I felt proud of the success that I achieved by doing it. How about you? Have you done it yet, or have you finally hired an expert?
