I was wondering if it would be possible to have an app to tune a BeoSound Essence, 35, (hopefully soon 1 and 2), BeoPlay A6, A9, and M5 since they have (or will have) bass and treble adjustments in the setup. I envision the app sending test tones to the device with a quality external mic reading the tone from the device. The app would have access to adjust the bass and treble until the tones are what is expected. This would fine tune the speaker system for its location I sure many are not ideal.
I just don't know if a series of test tones would be sufficient to accomplish this. I know many home theater receivers do something similar, but I am not sure if they take care of frequency responses.
Excellent idea! I'm wondering why the last Beosounds and Beoplay are so bass heavy... Is it a new fashion? I like very much my BS2 but I had to reduce in iTunes the bass frequencies a lot in order to make the sound acceptable for me in my place without fearing to disturb my neighbors. Many reviews find the bass too strong...
My BeoSound 2 bass feels heavy, but I attributed it to the location on a quartz countertop in my kitchen. I didn't think to change iTunes... are there general bass and treble settings? I know about the EQ settings and found "piano" to improve some of my songs, but this seems like it would affect more than I would like. I'm sure my BeoPlay A6 and BeoSound 2 would need separate settings.
But I am interested in your iTunes settings. I'm wondering if you found something I missed.
I used manual setting in iTunes. It's not perfect yet but much better and bass are still strong enough but don't feel boomy and heavy anymore.

Very interesting.
After reading this I tried these equalizer settings :
... and it's even better. My BS2 sits in a corner (window and concrete wall) and is not boomy anymore but still plenty of clean punchy low frequencies.
Thank you very much!
I just saw that there was an update for the BS2 2 days ago but still no possibility to adjust the bass setting.
I was hoping they will bring this as without iTunes equalizer it is too much boomy when placed close to a wall and a corner...
I'm a bit disappointed as they did it for other devices.
