How to adjust the audio equalizer on the Reiz?

First, open the player and play a song, then select the equalizer. After that, you can proceed with the corresponding settings. The car audio equalizer is an electronic device that can adjust the amplification of various frequency components in the electrical signal. It compensates for defects in car speakers or the sound field by adjusting electrical signals of different frequencies. Below is relevant information about the Reiz audio equalizer: 1. Sub-bass: 20Hz-40Hz, when properly adjusted, the sound is strong and powerful. It controls sounds like thunder, bass drums, pipe organs, and bass. Excessive boosting can make the music muddy. 2. Bass: 40Hz-150Hz, this is the foundational part of the sound, accounting for 70% of the entire audio energy. It is a crucial component in expressing musical style. When properly adjusted, the bass is balanced, and the sound is full and soft. Insufficient adjustment makes the sound thin. At 150Hz, excessive boosting can make the sound muffled, reduce brightness, and increase nasality. 3. Mid-bass: 150Hz-500Hz, this is the structural part of the sound, where the human voice is located. Insufficient adjustment can cause the vocal to be drowned out by the music, making the sound weak. Proper boosting makes the sound robust and powerful, enhancing its strength and loudness. Excessive boosting can make the bass harsh. Boosting 300Hz by 3-6dB excessively, especially with added reverb, can severely affect sound clarity. 4. Midrange: 500Hz-2KHz, this includes the lower harmonics and overtones of most instruments and is characteristic of snare drums and percussion. Proper adjustment makes the sound clear and bright, while insufficient adjustment makes it muffled. Excessive boosting can produce a telephone-like sound. 5. Upper midrange: 2KHz-5KHz, this is characteristic of string instruments (the friction of the bow on strings in bowed instruments, the sound of fingers plucking strings). Insufficient adjustment reduces the sound's penetration, while excessive boosting can mask the recognition of speech syllables. 6. Treble: 7KHz-8KHz, this frequency affects the sense of sound layering. Excessive boosting can make the sound of piccolos and flutes stand out, increase sibilance in speech, and make the timbre harsh. 7. Super treble: 8KHz-10KHz, when properly adjusted, the metallic clarity of triangles and cymbals is high, and the rhythm of a sand clock is distinct. Excessive boosting can make the sound unnatural and risk burning out high-frequency units.
To adjust the sound equalizer on your Toyota Mark X (Reiz), I suggest proceeding step by step. First, turn on your car's audio system and locate the equalizer option in the settings menu - it might be labeled as an EQ button or similar. Inside, you'll find several frequency bands like bass, midrange, and treble, each with adjustable sliders. I recommend resetting all settings to zero initially, then find a quiet parking lot to play a familiar song and evaluate the sound. Gradually increase the bass slider for more punch, slightly adjust midrange for vocal clarity, and boost treble for brightness without overdoing it. Experiment with different music genres - pop may need heavier bass while jazz might require emphasized midrange. When playing poor-quality recordings, reduce treble to avoid harshness. Remember to save your settings to prevent losing them after restarting. The Mark X's system responds quickly, so don't panic if there's slight delay during adjustments. Overall, patiently experiment to find your preferred balance, avoiding extreme adjustments in one go.
If the audio quality of the Reiz feels odd, it might be due to improper equalizer settings. I would first check the EQ settings in the audio menu, avoiding extreme adjustments like maxing out or minimizing all frequency bands. Excessive bass can cause door panel resonance, while too much treble may sound harsh and drain power. If you encounter noise or distortion, try resetting the sliders to the middle position and fine-tune them one by one. Also, check the quality of the audio source—unstable Bluetooth connections can affect playback. Adjust your phone’s volume to medium before tweaking the EQ. The Reiz’s factory audio performs well, but preset modes may not always suit personal preferences. Spend some time listening to different tracks to feel the changes, and lock the settings once satisfied. If the settings don’t save, it could be a minor infotainment system glitch—try restarting the car to see if it helps.
