New Equalizer In Version 8.0.2.50.114 - Please Share Settings

[TexasTeslaRacing]

With today's update for my 2015 MS, EQ settings are more customizable. Thank you Tesla.

I know you are attempting to be helpful, but did you even look at the first post (or any of the many other posts) in this thread? Even the title I gave this thread should have been a strong indication that what you just received was not "new."

This is old news.

Although if they are still set the same tomorrow ... that would be good ... and new

... I'll get my coat

It seems to always default back to +12 across the board every time i get in and drive.. :-(

All my settings go to 6.0...I can live with that.

Mine all reset to + 8.5

With all due respect, he didn't say it was 'new', you did. All he said was that he just got it. And considering the first post specifically asks to share settings, which he did, I struggle to see the issue.

Mine is boring like a few others' here and resets to all zeros. I just got a firmware upgrade notice this morning... will have to see what version I got.

Fair enough. I thought the message was intended to tell us about this new equalizer, but perhaps not.

I received a new software notification yesterday but I am abstaining until this bug is resolved. It sucks that Tesla doesn't tell you the update version prior to installation.

Just installed v8.0 (2.52.22) today. Enjoyed reading this thread, and the top two bands help compensate for my high frequency hearing loss.

Will see if my saved EQ settings stick while charging overnight and post what I see here.

My EQ settings seem to have persisted overnight+charge.

 

[ORB]

Good to hear, mine persisted as well after charging following yesterday's update.

I also just got the update last night. Hope this fixes the "bug" that resets the equilizers to all +8.0 across the board the last week....

There are now several reports indicating that it does.

 

[Dborn]

If it also fixes the the fact that my linked key fob does nothing, that will be good.

So folks, can we get back to Andy's original topic, settings?

Being a newb in equalizer, can someone tell me what are the 2 sliders without label on them?

While the equalizer settings reset issue seems to be fixed....my Dolby Surround now reverts to unchecked several times per day. This seems to be a new bug. Anyone else with premium sound having this problem?

Why sad? Cant play on 11 with it

Not me.

I've found Dolby unchecked once since the update. But I also occasionally found it unchecked (along with all the EQ settings lost) previously so I don't think it's a new bug to this release.

They are for frequencies in between the two on either side. Someone earlier in this thread posted their best estimation on the specific frequency range each of the 5 manipulates.

Here are some preliminary thoughts on the new 5 band EQ. I measured this with my iPhone and only spent about 5 minutes on this so it's subject to change once I have more time to analyze:

These readings were taken with my volume set to the first '6' level (Going from 5). Also I have the upgraded sound with the ultra white synthetic seats and the readings were taken with my iPhone mic at ear level in the drivers seat position and the surround setting set to default (Center of the car) in a 6 seat car with the rear two seats folded down. One other thing that might be slightly different in my setup is I actually have the mythical parcel shelf and it was installed for this, so it may help improve the bass response in my setup a bit.

These are where I measured the different EQ band controls:

Low band 1 - Centered around 80Hz
Low band 2 - Centered around 200Hz
Mid Band 3 - Centered around 800Hz
High Band 4 - Centered around 2kHz
High Band 5 - Centered around 8kHz

At volume 6 I preferred this setup on the EQ:
Band 1 = +3.0
Band 2 = +1.0
Band 3 = 0
Band 4 = +3.5
Band 5 = 0

These settings will boost the low end a bit and provide a bit of a boost between 100Hz and 500Hz. Then it flattens out through about 1kHz and then boosts a bit to improve intelligibility for vocals in the 2kHz range. The system default setting (0) at band 5 rolls off the higher end a bit from being flat and then really tails off above 16kHz. The settings above also don't dramatically emphasize any particular frequency band, they are more of a rolling gradual boost for certain areas. I'll live with these for a bit and then play around with them again.

Again, these are really quick and dirty readings that I took, so play around with them to suit your own taste. To my ears, this latest audio upgrade really improved the clarity and overall frequency response of the system and improved the channel separation. The bass response is dramatically improved from what it was before. Basically the low band 1 control is the subwoofer control now. The measurements I made are objective, but in the end, what is a pleasing sound is very subjective. The benchmark I'm using when I say there are improvements in the system are overall clarity, smoothness of response and sound stage. Depending on the kind of system you are used to listening to, your perceptions may vary.

I don't like playing my music very loud, so for those who do, these settings will probably not work that well for you. But for those who like to listen to the sound system and a volume that still allows conversation, the above gives you a nice frequency curve to use as a baseline to work from.
