How to adjust car balance
In a car audio system, equalizer (EQ) adjustment is a key step to improve sound quality. Recently, the hot topics on car audio adjustment on the Internet mainly focus on how to optimize the sound field, eliminate noise and adapt to different music styles through equalizer. This article will combine the hot content of the past 10 days to provide you with a structured guide to car balance adjustment.
1. Basic knowledge of equalizer adjustment

An equalizer is a device that optimizes sound effects by adjusting the gain of different frequency bands. Car audio usually provides 5-10 frequency band adjustable options. The following are common frequency bands and their functions:
| Frequency band (Hz) | function | Recommended adjustment range |
|---|---|---|
| 20-60 | Ultra-low frequency, affecting the bass shock | +1 to +3 (avoid overdose) |
| 60-250 | Low frequency, which determines the thickness of drum and bass sounds | 0 to +2 |
| 250-2000 | Midrange, vocals and instrument body | -1 to +1 (according to preference) |
| 2000-8000 | High frequencies, affecting clarity and detail | 0 to +2 |
| 8000-20000 | Ultra-high frequency determines the sense of space and brightness | -1 to +1 (avoid harshness) |
2. Recently popular adjustment solutions
According to discussions on social media and forums in the past 10 days, the following three adjustment solutions have attracted much attention:
| Scheme name | Applicable scenarios | Parameter settings (from low frequency to high frequency) |
|---|---|---|
| surging bass | Electronic dance music/hip-hop music | +3, +2, 0, -1, -1 |
| Vocal enhancement | Popular Music/Podcasts | 0, +1, +2, +1, 0 |
| balance nature | Classical/Jazz | +1, +1, 0, +1, +1 |
3. Adjustment skills and precautions
1.environmental testing method: Recently, popular video bloggers recommend testing the vehicle separately when the vehicle is stationary and driving, because road noise will affect the low-frequency performance.
2.Mobile APP assistance: Use decibel testing tools such as "Sound Meter" to ensure that the volume difference in each frequency band does not exceed 3dB.
3.sound field positioning: According to the latest forum discussion, it is recommended to set the center point of the sound field 10cm away from the driving position in the middle of the windshield.
4.Common misunderstandings:
- Excessively boosting the low frequency causes the door panel to resonate (a hot spot of recent complaints)
- Completely cutting out high frequencies makes the sound dull (pointed out by multiple expert videos)
4. Adjustment characteristics of different models
Collect recent car owner feedback data and summarize the adjustment focus of the following models:
| Vehicle type | Adjust focus | Typical questions |
|---|---|---|
| SUV/MPV | Strengthen mid- and high-frequency compensation space attenuation | Poor hearing in the back row |
| sports car | Reduce frequency bands below 80Hz | Engine noise interference |
| electric car | Finely adjustable UHF | Current sound needs to be eliminated with EQ |
5. New trends in 2023
1.AI automatic adjustment: Many brands have launched the function of automatically generating EQ configurations through microphone collection, which has become a hot topic in recent technology media reports.
2.Time-based default: Intelligent EQ system that automatically reduces low frequencies when driving at night (new patent of a certain brand exposed).
3.Personalized sharing: The music platform has added a new "EQ configuration sharing" function, allowing users to upload their own adjustment plans.
Through the integration of the above structured data and recent hot topics, you can adjust the car equalizer more scientifically. It is recommended to first use popular solutions as the basis, then fine-tune based on actual listening experience, and regularly update the configuration to adapt to different music types and driving environments.
