How to adjust the equalizer for the GL8 audio system?

Increase the treble to a positive six level and move the overall sound field to the rear seats at negative three or four. Adjust the bass to about four-fifths of the midrange, and adjust the midrange according to personal preference, recommended to be about two-thirds of the treble.
My GL8 is primarily used for client transportation, and I've developed a sound tuning method tailored for business scenarios. First, locate the six-band equalizer interface in the 'Sound Settings' on the central control screen. Reduce 100Hz by 2 notches to avoid muffled bass, increase 400Hz by 1 notch for clearer vocals, leave 1kHz unchanged, boost 6kHz by 2 notches to enhance instrument texture, and avoid adjusting 16kHz to prevent harshness. The key is to shift the soundstage positioning two steps forward, ensuring music doesn't overpower conversations in the rear seats. For testing, use Tsai Chin's 'Ferry' - you should hear deep yet non-overwhelming drum beats, with vocal imaging correctly positioned above the dashboard. Never activate 'Rock Mode' as clients may find it tacky.
Families with kids need to balance nursery rhymes and navigation sounds! Here's how I adjust it when taking my child out: Enter 'Audio Settings' in the center console to adjust the equalizer. Boost the 200Hz band by 3 notches for adorable Minion voices in cartoons; lower the 4kHz band by 1 notch to prevent kids from saying 'ears itch.' Most importantly, enable 'Speed Volume Compensation' so the volume automatically increases on highways. During testing, play both 'Peppa Pig' and navigation voice simultaneously—only when both fairy tale dialogues and 'turn right ahead' are clearly audible is it successful. Remember to save these settings as 'Parent-Child Mode' for easy switching next time.
