JBL Audio Settings for Best Sound Production
I have the JBL Premium Audio 4-disc CD Changer/MP3/Bluetooth with 8 speakers in 6 locations, 440 watts with nagivation system.
This is the first vehicle I have had with a decent sound system, and being a discriminating music lover I am struggling with calibrating the system for optimal tonal accuracy and reproduction.
I am somewhat disappointed that the sound system has only the ability to adjust the treble, midrange, and bass, with no further equalizer or sound adjusting capabilities other than left and right channel, and front and rear adjustment.
To me, at normal settings the bass is WAY too hot. The best setting I have been able to reach is bass - 2, mid range and treble +1, and set it back toward the rear speakers 1.
This gives me the best overall treble when listening to Maynard Ferguson for example, without washing out too much of the bass and toms when listening to Neil Peart's percussion on "Limelight" by Rush, or charts by Buddy Rich.
For others who have had premiums sound systems in other vehicles (particularyLexus Mark Levinson or Bose systems), how does this system compare?
For other music lovers out there, what settings do you use to provide the most accurate sound? And please use examples ot the type of music you adjust it to. And, if you're a hip hop fan, please don't tell me about how loud you get the bass turned up. I am looking for sonic accuracy not creating a neighborhood nuisance.
THANKS!!!
