Best Bose settings?

[cbeck44]

The system sound quality is wildly effected by the source material. Compressed low bit rate music will handicap this audio system, where uncompressed music can sound worlds better. Short of changing the fairly limited audio settings based on the source, I tend to listen to hifi versions from sources that offer uncompressed material (Tidal, Apple Music, etc.).

I had my neighbor use his professional audio calibration equipment on my 4 CT to analyze the output using a pink noise input source. Here is what we found matched an ideal curve. NOTE: This may be different for the Sedan due to speaker placement and such and everyone’s ears have their own preference - take as a starting point based on digital data analysis.

Taycan CT Bose Profile


surround: on - this brought up the kids and high-mids that were lacking by default
fader: just forward of the center lock position to fully forward - this eliminated the “surround” effect while still enabling the mids described above
bass: 3 - beyond 5 it was too “boomy” and didn’t have that smooth roll, but in that 3-5 range was ideal for the target curve
treble: 6 - some of the high-mids seem attached to this equalization control, so bringing it up helped those match the curve
linear: off - enabling this compresses the end of the audible spectrum and really detunes the subwoofer activation
true sound: off - if using a decent source (direct usb, wired phone/ipod) this had negligible impact and in some cases was slightly detrimental to the curve matching

My 25 4s has AudioPilot. What does this do & i what's your opinion of this setting? Thanks
