“LOW EQ” the gain can be set to a frequency between 60 to 100 Hz. For

“HIGH EQ” the gain can be set to a frequency between 10000 and 17500 Hz.

As a result, it is possible to significantly influence the in-vehicle acoustics.

Notes on making equalizer settings

Before you set the equaliser, set bass, treble, balance and fader to “0” and deactivate the Loudness function. For more information on how to do this, refer to the section on “Tone and balance/ fader”.
