Proper Setting for the In-car Acoustic Characteristics

The built-in cabin equalizer allows you to easily adjust your audio system to meet the in- car acoustic characteristics which vary depending on the type of car and its measurement. To get the best possible sound spaciousness, be sure to make settings for the speakers.

As well, making settings for “Position” and “Balance” boosts the effects of the cabin equalizer.
