What is the best sound effect setting method for the GLC audio equalizer?

The best sound effect setting method for the GLC audio equalizer is to adjust the bass to 6-8, midrange to 0-3, treble to 6-8, and the speaker to the center position. Below is relevant information about the equalizer: 1. Basic Introduction: An equalizer is an electronic device that can separately adjust the amplification of various frequency components of an electrical signal. By adjusting electrical signals of different frequencies, it compensates for defects in speakers and sound fields, and modifies various sound sources for special effects. Generally, the equalizer on a mixing console can only adjust high, mid, and low-frequency electrical signals separately. 2. Principle: In communication systems, an equalizer corrects the amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency characteristics of a transmission channel. When a sine wave with frequency f is input into the transmission channel, the ratio of output voltage to input voltage varying with f is called the amplitude-frequency characteristic, or simply the amplitude response. The phase difference between output and input voltages varying with f is called the phase-frequency characteristic, or simply the phase response.
I've been using the Mercedes-Benz GLC for several years and have repeatedly adjusted the audio equalizer settings. Currently, I have the bass set at +2, which enhances the rhythm and is perfect for listening to electronic or pop music in urban traffic without sounding muffled. The midrange is kept at 0 to ensure natural and authentic vocals, making the singer's voice clear. The treble is set at +1 to highlight details like piano or violin highs without being harsh. The overall sound effect is best on highways with minimal wind noise, offering a balanced and immersive experience. I recommend new car owners start with the default settings, listen for two weeks, and then fine-tune by testing different music genres to gradually find their personal preference. Audio is highly subjective—what I like is the best setting. Pay attention to subtle changes in sound perception and make small adjustments to accumulate experience; the results can far exceed expectations.
As an audiophile, I believe the key to equalizer adjustment lies in balancing the frequency bands. Set the low frequency to +1 to +1.5 to avoid muddy sound caused by excessive bass, especially vibrations near the doors. Keep the mid frequency at 0 to maintain neutral and clear vocals without interference. Increase the high frequency by +0.5 to +1 to enhance details like cymbals without harshness. The acoustic environment inside a car is different from a room, so adjust appropriately to counteract reflections and interference. Changes in driving speed affect sound quality, with more noticeable effects at lower speeds. I test with different music genres like jazz or rock to determine settings—bass at +1.5, mid at 0, and treble at +0.8—for strong musical layering. Everyone's hearing is different, so I recommend using familiar tracks and adjusting gradually while driving for optimal results.
