Can you use built-in EQ presets when not playing off a micro SD card? I.e. does the SD EQ button do anything when streaming music from a phone?

No I don't believe so. Think EQ is for SD card because different music files can be recorded at different volume. I haven't needed to adjust sound quality for radio or phone music at all. Sound has been amazing

I installed a good equalizer in my phone after I got my set, and they sound great. I don't use SD cards, so I can't answer that part of your question.

I didn't use it that way...I used it w/ an SD card and it worked fine...the issue was there was no volume control (seriously?). Yup. No volume controls. Great sound...just way too loud and you can't turn it down if there just plain isn't a volume control....no idea what they were thinking...

Using my android smartphone with bluetooth, I am able to control basic features of Spotify. However, meta data does not show. Reading Spotify forums this is more likely a Spotify problem than this unit. Older versions of Spotify has worked great with this unit. Using the USB cable into the unit does not make a difference either. Neither does using the aux/in. All other music apps seem to work fine, just Spotify seems to have problems. This Kenwood unit is awesome!

you too, sorry can't help you! I use my phone with Poweramp so I have no use for the Clock or EQ! If I were you I would return the unit. I paid $20 for an Off Road vehicle so I got all I needed!!

Honestly, I've never used just a micro sd card. I've always connected it with my iphone or my mp3/mp4 player. I do know however that you can control the found settings from the device connected instead if changing it by hand on the speaker. Also if you get a call in the middle of listening to the speaker that's connected to the phone, it resumes without having to hit play again. Plus, the sound bumps. It sounds like it's a much more impressive speaker. Worth every penny!

The EQ on this amp only works on the headphone (mini phone) jack. If you are using the RCA outputs, you will experience no change in EQ, regardless of how you manipulate the 3 sliders.

Check you phone's BT settings. Sometimes the box for media is unchecked on the phone bluetooth entry for the headset. This happened to me once -the phone was working and the music wasn't. I opened BT settings and saw that the box for media for my earphones was unchecked. Once I checked it --the music flowed smoothly!

You can also adjust the low frequency of the EQ when using X-edit to set your preset. The board itself for some reasons can only adjust mid and high frequency.

I use SD cards and the music on them is MP3. I use old SD cards from years ago that had been in cameras. I didn't even reformat them. I use it plugged in and I love it. I play stuff all night to cover the background noise and some times I leave it on all day. I switch cards often so I have different music on each. I haven't tried it with a stick.

What issues exactly? Everything works good for me. And about the sound if you are using or used to use mixers most of them uses transistors instead of sound cards. With sound card the sound it's not really crisp and not powerful enough. It's sounds way to compressed. Everything else you can't ask for more!! It makes your Dj skills really easy to perform ... It's saves all your cue points ... Loops... Etc. instead of create you loop every time on a track it saves it ... Next time you play the same track you'll have you loop there ready to use or not!!!

If you use a good mp3 player with good eq then just about anything you listen to will sound good....keyword here is a GOOD EQUALIZER

On Android seems to only be phone audio by default. However there is an app called 'bluetooth mono' that allows you to output music to it.

Is there the option to adjust the EQ manually? YES. It can be found under SETTINGS &gt; MUSIC OPTIONS &gt; MUSIC EQ &gt; CUSTOM Can I adjust each band of the EQ individually? YES. There is a 5 band EQ. That is why I love this thing.

Yes, you can load your own sounds from an SD card (I don't own the device, but they demonstrate it in this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF38DrK5Rl8)

Hi! I am currently using this phone. I have a micro SD card in it with MP3 files, and though I don't use it for listening to them like an iPod etc, I use them for ringtones. I love that I can find MP3 or WAV files of my favorite video game or TV show themes and other music and set ringtones, without having to buy seperate ringtones... unlike my wife's iPhone that makes her buy ringtones from iTunes! Using MP3 for ringtones on the micro SD card has been super easy, fun, and they sound great.

There is an RIAA EQ built into every phono preamp. If you plug a phono preamp into a phono preamp, the result will be bad sound.

The EQ settings are for Jazz, Classical, Funk, Hip Hop, etc., then you can use the "custom EQ" settings, which has some slider buttons but I don't know what they do.
