Dynaudio

[jivemonkey]

So far I've not been complete blown away by the Dynaudio on the Mk7 as I was when first trying it on the Mk6, for me there seems to be something amiss with the new setup.  I've been tweaking the 'profile' EQ hoping to get this a bit better - and have had a little success in that regard, but can't help feeling a little disappointed and short changed. I just can't get the same level of clarity and depth to the sound.

As clear and superb as it is, I'm beginning to think I won't be opting for it again on my next VW.

Also, is anyone else getting an incredibly annoying 'buzzing' all around the car at mid sound level? The bass is -3 and sub at 0, and this is only when only listening at approx. 50% volume. Most prominent with Stereophonics' 'Been caught cheating'. Pi**ing me off . Never had a single trim rattle or buzz with the Mk6!

Hi,

I have adjusted mine to bass +3 and the sub on max.  It seems to be better but still not quite as good as the mk6.

Sub on Max?  I keep mine on 5.  Try lowering your mids if you want a deeper sound....

I dont think the sub really has much output anyway, especially if you have things in the boot.  I guess years of DJing in clubs has made my bass obsessed

I had a closer look at my Dynaudio setup today. After playing with the settings for a while I noticed that the Individual EQ settings you enter are not instead of the Profiles (Dynamic, Authentic etc,) but as well as.  For example,  If the individual EQ settings are set to flat Bass 0, Mid 0 Treble 0 (default).  All Profiles sound as they should.  But if I set the EQ settings to unique values other than 0 the Profiles all sound as if they are adjusted.  Is this correct?

Am I to think of the Individual EQ settings as a way of fine tuning the existing Profiles supplied

I corrected it for you

I thought that the 4 Profiles were completely preset, without the ability the change settings, and separate from the Individual EQ settings, but I could be wrong.

[Brenbo]

I may be completely wrong, but the presets (profiles) are hard wired in and are unchangeable.  But if you want to tweak the sound produced by the preset profiles (without affecting their actual setup) you can adjust the EQ settings on the Individual mode to refine the sound produced.

There is a button in EQ which allows you to return the EQ to default (all on 0). As stated before I may be wrong so do not take this as gospel just may be my own misguided understanding, The profiles and Individual EQ modes are separate entities which combine to produce the final sound result.  For example if you think the sound of the 'Dynamic' Profile is a bit muddy on the mids you can go to Individual and set the mids EQ Band a little higher to increase the mids overall.  You should now hear the mids a bit clearer then if you go to another profile with the EQ bands remaining with the mids band adjusted you will notice all the Profiles are actual sounding as if the mids are set higher.  Now if you want ot return to the original sound produced by the profiles go to Individual and press the return to default button above the EQ Bands.  This will then return all EQ Bands to 0. 

Hence why I said the Profiles and Individual EQ settings are separate entitiies which combine to produce the final result. 

Can anyone clarify if I am on the right lines or completely wrong?

Are there controls on the actual subwoofer in the boot, that let you adjust it's bass output independent to the bass settings then?
