Adjusting the Cabin Equalizer (Expert)

At the Expert Setting Menu you can make fine adjustments for 3-band parametric EQ, speaker output level and time alignment, speaker by speaker. “Band”, “Frequency”, “EQ Level” and “Q Factor” are options you need to select when adjusting the 3-band parametric equalizer.

Tips for adjusting the Cabin Equalizer

The center speaker largely determines the sound image and getting the balance right isn’t easy. We recommend reproducing a 2-ch. audio (a CD for example) and getting the balance right among the speakers except for the center, and then reproducing a 5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and adjusting the center speaker’s output to the balance you have already got among the other speakers.

When you make adjustment for speakers, the currently selected type of car is highlighted in orange showing that a tailored EQ curve is stored in memory. Your tailored Cabin EQ can be stored in memory (see page 64) and be erased from memory (see page 64).
