2016 Mercedes GLC350 4Matic
Audio Settings

Got pretty much every option in my GLC 4Matic except the cheap upgrade - the speakers! Wish I had just added that in but it'll have to wait for 36 months now!

In the meantime, any suggestions on the best settings for treble, bass and midtones (don't even know what midtowns are!) to make the most of the sound system. Thanks -

It's nice Mercedes has include midtones in the equalization. Midtones allow you to adjust the frequency that is more inline with the human voice.

No one can really suggest settings for you as everyone's ears hear frequencies differently. I'd put on music that you like to listen to, and adjust the settings until the music sounds the best to your ears.

Also, you should be aware that you have to set the bass/mid/treble for each sound source. i.e., set them for radio/satellite/cd/media. The settings are individual for each source.

Thanks! And you helped solve the mystery of why the radio and satellite sounded so different!

Also, be aware that satellite radio audio is compressed and inherently has a lesser quality sound than that of OTA radio. I'm no audiophile and I can hear the imperfections in satellite audio caused by the compression.
