That was the reason for my question - the data in this thread goes way back and I would have been surprised if no evolution of the audio system took place in the meantime.
So research and recommended settings may not apply the same way to LCI or generally newer models.

Many thanks glennQNYC for sharing your settings. Made all the difference in my F31.

I thought I was just about getting used to the HK system.. thank you! Never got the time to play around until now and your template really helped and saved time (little more bass heavy for me). |

Do most of you turn off the EQ in the iPhone or leave it on over the HK tune?

Personally I never use the EQ in iOS... in my car or otherwise.

Great thread! I'm not an audio engineer but definitely came very close to Glenn's initial settings after playing with my EQ to what sounds best (to me) on my '14 F10 before reading this thread. At least tells me I'm not super crazy, but definitely picky with EQ.
I go back and forth with the L7. Mostly I keep it off. If the recording had a good play between left and right channels, I find the L7 looses some of that play. Had a particularly long commute today and was really enjoying the mixing of several classic rock songs and play between left and right channels noting to myself that I had the L7 turned off and how good it sounded. Thanks Glenn for getting us started right and in my case confirming I'm not loosing my mind with my EQ settings. Current EQ for me: 100: +3 200: - 4 500: +1 1k: - 1 2k: 0 5k: -1 10k: -2 Logic 7 off Balance and fader no bias Trebel and Bass: 0 Last edited by JasonFH; 02-20-2019 at 12:35 AM.. |

I believe at least one person asked if these settings are applicable to the F32. Well definitely not the 2019 430i I have as a loaner this week! Actually this should be fairly obvious because this 2019 model has a different EQ than my 2014 335i.
The system in the 2019 430i loaner responds very differently than my 2014 335i. The biggest difference my car has is the big hole in the response between under seat woofers and door midrange is simply not there. The frequency response is MUCH more linear in the 2019 F32 than my 2014 F30. I can already hear people ask- how do you have the F32 set Glenn? As a starting point I flattened the EQ and Bass Treble controls. Then I activated L7 processing. After listening for two days (at least 10 hours), I can sum things up so far this way... Although I'm definitely not in love with the performance of the system, I REALLY don't like what almost any of the adjustments do to the sound. I'll have the car until at least Wednesday but right now the system is flat except +1 click on the two lowest EQ sliders (100 Hz and 250 Hz I believe). This isn't intended to provide a strong tuning recommendation as much as its intended to communicate that these two systems are very different in the bass region at least. Rock on. 🤘🏻

Of course they are. The HK system has undergone an upgrade in the meantime and is different from the early editions. Subsequently any recommendations for Equalizer settings are invalidated.
I have mine (in F36) with slightly increased lower freq. response (just because I enjoy hearing the bass at low volumes). Apart from that flat. And very happy with it.

So I came across this thread entirely by accident a few days ago and while the EQ settings have helped a bit, the hole Glenn refers to in the frequency crossover from the subs to the door tweeters is still driving me crazy. Has anyone solved this through hardware? I wonder if changing the amp would help, I'm also considering a Hu upgrade to get id6, but I honestly don't know where the problem originates. From what Ive read on other threads, the speakers themselves are pretty good quality so I don't think it would help changing those.
Also has anyone here done the coding to enable the bang and olufsen dsp? Has it helped with this? I'd try myself but i don't have an obd adapter or bimmercode yet. Looking to purchase those in the near future but if anyone has any feedback on this I'd appreciate it! |

Well.. to anyone wondering, I finally switched to B&O DSP through Bimmercode and it does help a lot.
Not the best stereo I've ever heard in a car by far, but at least I can live with it now. My advice to anyone with a HK system is to go straight to B&O DSP. |

Do you have pre-LCI or LCI

I was wondering how equalization would change after these are done.

I have a 2016 (so LCI) and have ended up with pretty much exactly the same settings as OP in this thread (before seeing the thread), so I would say Glen's advice is still relevant for people with LCI cars.
I plan on adding a sub in the back and reduce the eq/bass on the main system, so hopefully the relief to the amp will allow the rest of the frequency band to play a bit better and with more punch.

I have a 16 340i and used the EQ settings in the attached pics. It really opened up the range on the HK system. I used a pink noise CD and tried to balance the different frequencies. I just used a free app, but I am fairly satisfied with the sound. I usually listen to hard rock, metal, acoustic, rap and it has sounded great with all of these styles! I welcome others' feedback on how they like these settings! |
