To adjust the Mercedes-Benz audio equalizer to the optimal state, set the bass in the entertainment settings to 8-9 (reduce slightly if there is low-frequency distortion), midrange to 2-3, treble to 5-6, balance the left and right channels to the center, and adjust the front and rear balance to the middle as well. Car Audio: Car audio refers to the radio and playback devices installed to alleviate the monotony of driving and traveling for passengers. Initially, car AM radios were used, later evolving to AM/FM radios, cassette players, and progressing to CD players and compatible DCC and DAT digital audio systems. Today, car audio systems have reached high standards in terms of sound quality, operation, and vibration resistance, capable of withstanding the bumps on rough roads while ensuring stable performance and perfect sound quality. Components of Car Audio: Car audio consists of the head unit, speakers, and amplifier. Its function is to amplify weak signals from the audio source or preamplifier without altering the sound quality, driving the speakers to produce sound, commonly known as the amplifier.

I remember when I first bought my Mercedes, the audio system defaulted to surround sound, which sounded a bit exaggerated. I figured out how to set it to standard mode myself: after starting the car, open the central control screen, tap the settings icon, select the entertainment system, and then go into the sound options. There are several preset modes there, such as standard, surround, or dynamic. I simply selected the standard mode, and that was it. After setting it, the sound quality became more natural, with less of those flashy reverberations, and the speech on the radio was clear without being harsh. Actually, Mercedes' audio system is quite advanced, and keeping the standard factory settings is best for preserving the lifespan of the speakers. If you prefer heavier bass, you can make small adjustments in the equalizer, but don’t overdo it to avoid distortion. I recommend new users set this mode—safety first. Also, check the settings periodically to avoid any changes after system updates.

It's quite quick to operate. After starting the vehicle, locate the menu button on the central control, then navigate to the sound settings section. Select the sound effect preset and switch to the standard or factory default mode. The standard mode offers neutral sound quality, eliminating unnecessary processing for a more authentic audio experience. Mercedes-Benz audio systems like the Burmester come with default sound coloration, so setting it back to standard restores the original audio output. If you're playing music via Bluetooth, you'll notice richer details and less overpowering bass after switching to standard. Also, check for loose connections, as poor-quality audio sources limit the effectiveness of these settings. For routine maintenance, it's advisable not to randomly adjust sound effects to prolong speaker lifespan. With just a few simple steps, you can enjoy pure sound quality.

After turning on the power in the car, tap the settings on the central control screen and find the sound options. Select the sound mode inside, choose the standard preset, and confirm. This will set the sound quality to be balanced with clear background music. Mercedes-Benz comes like this from the factory, and after decades of driving, I'm used to the standard settings. When listening to radio news, the voices are clear without distortion, and the bass isn't too overpowering, making it safe and comfortable. If the menu changes position, the owner's manual has detailed illustrations to guide you. Keeping it as it is simplest—don't tweak too much.
