Click the Power button on the left side of the central control screen to turn on the power; Press the system settings button in the lower right corner of the central control screen; Select the audio effects menu in the system settings menu. You can also choose "Custom" to set your preferred equalizer.

I've figured out some tricks for tuning the audio settings in my M8. It mainly depends on personal preference: if you love thumping bass, turn up the low frequencies by two notches, and rock music instantly feels more powerful; for clearer vocals, boost the treble by two notches, making the lyrics crystal clear. Avoid messing with the midrange—the default position sounds the most natural. My go-to settings are bass +2, midrange 0, and treble +3, which makes driving especially pleasant. When tuning, connect your phone and play your favorite songs, adjusting while driving is the most reliable method. Friends in the back seat say this setup delivers well-defined layers of highs and lows, making long trips easy on the ears. I recommend skipping the system presets like rock or jazz modes—custom tuning is the way to craft your perfect sound.

Adjusting the equalizer is like seasoning a dish. In the Trumpchi M8, just enter the sound settings on the central control screen to make adjustments. The bass corresponds to 50Hz-200Hz—boosting it too much can be overwhelming. I prefer setting it to +1 to enhance the drum beats without being noisy. The midrange (200Hz-2kHz) affects vocals and the main tones of instruments; keeping it at the default is best, as over-adjusting can make the sound hollow. The treble (above 2kHz) controls metallic instruments and sibilance, and +2 is sufficient. Remember to pair this with the sound field settings, positioning the center of the sound field directly in front of the driver's seat. When listening to music on NetEase Cloud Music, enable the SQ quality for rich details—adjusting it this way makes Faye Wong's voice sound like she's singing right next to you during traffic jams.

I've researched three golden EQ settings for the M8 audio system: For electronic/rock music, set Bass +3, Mid 0, Treble +1 - the bass literally makes the seats vibrate; For pop songs, use Bass +1, Mid 0, Treble +3 - makes Jay Chou's enunciation crystal clear; For instrumental music, choose Bass 0, Mid +1, Treble +2 - creates perfect separation for piano and violin. Customize these in the vehicle settings and save as different presets. When using Bluetooth, remember to disable phone audio enhancements or the tuning will still sound muddy. Never adjust more than two notches at a time, and test on highway speeds - if it sounds harsh, dial it back.

Last week, I helped a friend adjust the M8's audio system and discovered a few tricks: After starting the vehicle, navigate to the sound menu from the central control. The equalizer divides frequencies into low, mid, and high. Bass enthusiasts should raise the 60Hz by two notches, but don’t exceed +3 to avoid door resonance. Keep the mid-frequency at 500Hz steady at +0 for the most stable effect. Boosting the high frequency at 8kHz by +2 can make vocals clearer. Enable the environment matching feature to let the system automatically adjust volume based on speed. The key is to test with lossless audio sources—QQ Music’s Hi-Res quality makes the most noticeable difference. After tuning, listening to Cai Qin’s 'Dukou,' the drum beats are deep, vocals are bright but not harsh, and backseat passengers said the effect rivals a theater.
