Compared with the entry-level elite model, the senior Regal GS has more electromagnetic suspension, BOSE audio, ADAS adaptive cruise, AGR certified sports seats ... configurations, and people who love to play must have taken a fancy to electromagnetic levitation; And people who like to listen to music while driving, is there a much worse BOSE sound? This time I found an elite Regal GS and listened to its sound performance.
Advantages: sound stage is spacious and the bass is pleasant.
Disadvantages: lack of alto and treble.
Hardware configuration that is more close to the people than the people.
Regal GS has just completed the mid-term change, but there is no obvious difference between the old and new models in terms of audio speaker configuration. The elite type has only four front sound field speakers and two rear sound field speakers. Relatively speaking, the BOSE sound system of 1 1 speaker seems to be more sincere!
Both the old and new central control screens are 8 inches, but there are great differences in content. The function of this old model in the picture is very limited. After the change, QQ music, cool music, functions of Himalayan radio ............................................................................................................................................................
There are both USB connection and Bluetooth connection, so people who like playing mobile phone music or listening to MP3 memory music need not worry.
The tuning function is highly modular, and high, medium and low preset sound effects are presented to users through five sound effects modes: classical, jazz, pop, vocal and rock. Of course, if users have their own tuning requirements, they can also operate flexibly in the "Customize" menu.
The modification is suitable, BOSE is recommended.
I tried to listen to several tracks of this 6-speaker sound system, including Opportunity in Cai Qin, Hotel California in Eagles, Tear In Heaven in Hosokawa Morihiro, and the famous Blue Rain Coat in Jennifer Warnes.
I found that although the five sound effects modes in the audio show great differences in the adjustment range of high, medium and low, in fact, the sound difference of the audio is not great, and both high and medium are lacking. However, the causes of these two problems are not the same. The shortage of alto lies in the unsatisfactory connection of high/medium bass frequency division and the spatial factor of phase offset. Basically, it is difficult to solve the problem without adjusting the installation angle of the woofer and modifying the midrange!
The problem of insufficient treble is that there are bass speakers in the front and rear sound fields, but only the front sound field has treble, and the high-frequency extension performance of the original vehicle's treble is not good, resulting in a serious lack of sense of quantity in the frequency domain above 2kHz, which can be known from the roll-off sense curve of the high-frequency end of the frequency response diagram.
As a result, the human voice sounds dry and tasteless, lacks throat rhyme and emotion, and the instrumental performance details in the midrange are unclear, and the rhythm and structure are vague; The sound particles are wide and the sound is not delicate enough. The sound stage ... is lacking in width, focus, positioning, level and depth.
Of the five sound modes, only "jazz" sounds a little better ... really only a little. I try to improve the space by playing in a custom mode. Adjusting the volume balance to the front sound field a little bit and adding a little bass will make me feel a little balanced, but it will only be a little more effective.
It seems that ... Buick has no intention to equip the Regal GS elite model with sound. If anyone has requirements for car audio, it is strongly recommended to buy an advanced version with BOSE audio, and the audio performance will definitely be much better. Of course, if you plan to buy Regal GS for modification and enhancement, the elite version of Regal GS with more affordable price is an affordable choice!
