How to adjust the sound equalizer on a Cadillac?

The method to adjust the sound equalizer on a Cadillac is: 1. Set the bass in the entertainment settings to 8-9, and the midrange to 2-3; 2. Adjust the treble to 5-6, and set the left-right balance to the middle; 3. Also set the front-rear balance to the middle. Taking the Cadillac XT5 as an example, it is a medium-sized 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of: length 4813mm, width 1903mm, height 1682mm, and a wheelbase of 2857mm. The Cadillac XT5 is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 174kW and a maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I remember spending a long time figuring out how to adjust the Cadillac audio system in the car for the first time. The locations vary across different models—for newer CT5 and XT6 models, you need to find the 'Audio' option under 'Settings' in the central control screen, while older ATS and XTS models might require pressing the media key to access the menu. Adjusting the equalizer mainly balances the three frequency ranges: if vocals and dialogues aren’t clear enough, boost the mid-range (2k-4kHz) by two notches; if the drum beats lack punch, increase the low-frequency (60Hz) by one notch. When the bass in rock music feels too heavy, don’t rush to boost the low frequencies—try attenuating the 80Hz range first, and the mid-high frequencies will naturally stand out. After adjustments, remember to test with different music genres. When highway tire noise is loud, slightly boosting the mid-high frequencies can improve the listening experience. Now, I’m used to saving three custom presets: a balanced mode for commuting, surround sound for jazz on weekends, and a clear vocal mode when picking up the kids.
