<Yes, a playback level must be established and retained, then EQ
applied. Still, I can't tell you what volume to use.>

Here's something that may help....

-20 dBFS pink noise for broadcast/film, 1 speaker at a time, 82 dB
SPL at the listening position for small or average setups, 85 dB SPL
for larger studios.

85dB is used because that is where we perceive frequencies to "be
equal".
