premium sound brightness

thegeneral101 · 05-02-2010, 06:36 PM

Alright, so I have a 335i with the Logic 7 and recently got an M3 also with the premium sound. For some reason the premium sound sounds very bright....I must be either doing something wrong or the system is broke because the Logic 7 in my 335i sounds wayyyy better. Any help?

I have fiddled with the EQ settings and nothing seems to help.....

EQ Settings:
100 Hz: +0
200 Hz: +1
500 Hz: +5
1000 Hz: +3
2000 Hz: +8
5000 Hz: +5
10000 Hz: +5

Trebble: +0
Bass: +3

See this thread post #42. I rate that thread one of THE most useful I have read on this forum. A MUST read for anyone with Enhanced Premium Sounds.

Surely a boost at 5 and 10khz would make it brighter no?

Blueman2 beat us all to it. The settings in that thread is supposed to be a starting point though. Try it and adjust from there. Maybe the boost at 5 and 10k is too bright. However, I'd give the speakers a little time to break in. Say 20 hours?

My understanding is that they do mellow out some. Good luck.

Cheers.

those setting seemed to help quite a bit...i will give the system some time as it only has 4 hours of use so far. thanks for the replies

Just my .02

I noticed this, too.

Toggle the "surround" setting. I believe turning this option off will help.
You will notice a definite change in treble.

I'm also going to do some tweaking when I have some time.
Read through the above post. It's a bit over the top but I'm curious to hear what his settings end up sounding like.

lm1z · 05-09-2010, 07:18 PM

If I would have read your previous post I would have known you already did this

thegeneral101 · 05-11-2010, 07:57 PM

haha thanks for the help....my car is actually in service because the sound system completely went out...i will post a new thread once I figure out what happened....they wil probably just say "it needed a software update"

chaos888 · 05-11-2010, 10:02 PM

I took Pencilgeek's settings as a starting point and adjusted them to get a "fuller" sound.

EQ Settings:
100 Hz: +5
200 Hz: +1
500 Hz: +4
1000 Hz: +5
2000 Hz: +8
5000 Hz: +5
10000 Hz: +5

Treble: +1
Bass: +5

Front/Rear Balance: 0

awesome thanks! the problem wasn't actually the EQ settings....rather my amp was going out...they replaced the amp and NOW i hear why this sound system rocks!

I wonder why all these new '10 vehicles have bad amps.
