Too much bass or too little treble from product | SoundDock® III speaker
If the sound lacks treble or has too much bass:
Try the following:
There are no adjustable tone controls on your Bose product.
Equalization, like bass or treble, is not adjustable on your product. You can try adjusting equalization on the connected device, if available. Try adjusting in small increments and check if the audio sounds better or worse to you. (Note: Greater adjustments can also impact volume level, which could create distorting or crackling audio.)
Make sure the iPod EQ is set to \"Flat\" or \"Off\"
The iPod EQ settings affect its audio performance when connected to the Bose system. The system is designed to be used with the iPod EQ set to "Flat" or "Off." To adjust the EQ setting, scroll to the main menu and follow these steps:
- Select "Settings" and press the center button
- Select "EQ" and press the center button
- Select "Flat" or "Off" and press the center button
Relocate the system to decrease bass.
Moving the system away from a wall or corner, or placing the system on or near soft surfaces, decreases bass response. The system's tone characteristics change depending on location and environment.
Try a different app.
If the issue only occurs with a particular app, it is likely related to the app or app settings.
Try connecting a different audio device.
If available, connect another audio device using the same cables and connections to determine if the issue is related to the first device or its settings.
Reset your product.
Much like rebooting a smartphone, your product might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. For more information, see Resetting your product.
