Curious about the settings forum members who have the Burmester 13 speaker, and 9 channel digital signal processor with 590 watts of output power.

You can adjust bass, mid and treble, use an equalizer, fader, set up sound focus and sound profile (select Pure or Surround mode).

Users can select a position for the sound focus or choose All Seats.

My basic settings on GLC 300 SUV 4Matic:

Tweaked mid and treble settings to +2.
Selected Surround sound profile instead of Pure
Burmester sound focus set to front seats instead of all seats.

Sounded punchier with clearer bass after I made some adjustments. I used Tidal with HiFi subscription, Master - to check sound quality and make adjustments. Also used Apple Music and SiriusXM to hear any differences.Also played digital tracks from a thumbdrive.

For me the selections that made the most difference were choosing Surround as the sound profile, and changing focus set to front seats (usually alone when driving).

Post your own settings or advice.

Waiting for my car with Burmester, I’ll try your settings but... at the end of November.

You will enjoy it!

Just curious how many speaker does the car comes with without Burmester?

I have bass up to max, mid to 4 and treble to 5. Surround is on, and audio focus one step to the rear (-2 I believe).

I believe the total number of stock speakers is 6. Adding Burmester Surround Sound option ($850) increases total number of speakers to 13.

I believe you are correct. As far as my settings, they're all defaults.

drwolf

its a great system to have, you get great bass.

ParjAS

Very true, one of my must have options when I bought my car.

The value for the Burmester option is truly undeniable.

I have bass +4; mids +2; and treble +8. Surround sound, and focus on all seats.

For those that have all their bass, mid, treb settings greater than zero, have you tried normalizing them and just turning up the volume? For example, Bass = 3, Mid = 2, and Treb = 4. Change the settings to Bass = 1, Mid = 0, and Treb = 2.

This assumes symmetrical filtering which is the way I have designed them, but it will give you more dynamic range, lower the noise floor, and reduce distortion in theory.

Thanks! I’ll give it a try. I’m no audiophile, so to me, it was just what sounded about right.

At low volume bass response just is not that good. The front sound stage is loaded with 7 speakers so I made a few adjustments for that as necessary. Will give your settings a try - thanks for the informative post.

I'm with you on this. This was a MUST have for me, and I don't regret it one bit.

I' m no audiophile, i got the burmester only because it matched the aluminum on my doors. Definitely would recommend. Very rich quality of sound.
