Setting the equaliser
The acoustic characteristics of the car inte- rior affect the quality of the sound repro- duced in your vehicle to a much greater ex- tent than the speakers.
Position, installation and the rear volumes of, for example, the door or rear window shelf all play an important role.
Even the sound produced by well selected and installed speakers can be affected neg- atively by resonance frequencies in the ve- hicle interior.

Notes on making the settings
The following notes are intended as recom- mendations only. They do not necessarily reflect your own personal sound preferenc- es.

This setting is described in the Quick Refer- ence under A AUD.

Evaluate the sound according to your own personal preferences.
Now refer to “Sound impression/problem” in the table and you will find suggestions to eliminate any problems under “What to do”.
