OMGoodness, I tried this on my Onyx studio 4 and expected nothing yet...it works. The midrange is so much clearer now. This is great for older folks like myself who listen to audiobooks. It also helps me enjoy much of the music I listen to. Thanks so much!
on pages 20 and 21 in the user's manual there is information about the possibility of adjusting the timbre. Pressing the combination of the Bluetooth and - buttons adjusts the bass strength. pressing the combination of the Bluetooth and + buttons adjusts the treble level. the scale for each adjustment is 3 steps.
Excellent video!! Immediate FIX after following your steps to correct sound breakage.. Harmon/Kardon Onyx Studio 7 connected to Samsung Smart TV. Thank YOU!!
I'm do the same trick right now on my studio 4 and works 😂 . I was waiting for something similar in the jbl charge 3 .. I don't remember right now wich buttons press to make the speaker play at low frequency
It is a code that is used in the factory for an extra test. It is not intended to be used at home to continue playing music. Playing in that mode for too long will damage the speaker. The speaker undergoes a factory test for decibels and frequencies. Then the mode returns to normal and the speaker lasts longer.
do you, by any chance, know how to adjust the on/off sound volume? I love my onyx 8 but god the on/off sound is so loud I cant use it when people sleep!
@@eyedl did you ever figure out how to adjust the sound volume for the on/off and BT pairing? I was walking around the house at night and it scared the hell out of me when my pc restarted and reconnected
@@eyedl thanks for the update! You know, for a "$500" speaker, the sound is great, but figuring out how to do anything else with it is nigh impossible. The manual is really sparse on actual info too...
DO NOT DO THIS... The louder EQ kicks in when you plugin the speaker to a power source. The lower volume EQ is likely programmed to optimize the battery usage...
I noticed it bumps more plugged it but bruh 2hr at max play when fully charged no power source is a shame everyone around gets in the mood about in that time 💀
Esta mal el videoooo, si presionas el botón Bluetooth y el de menos, se ajusta el nivel de bajo, tiene tres niveles, si parpadea el led en rojo una vez, nivel 1, dos veces nivel 2 y 3 pues nivel 3. Si lo presionas nuevamente regresa al nivel 1. Asimismo con el brillo pero con el botón más, el led parpadeará amarillo. De nada. (Pagina 20 del manual)
As Emmauel N mentioned above, press the + and - together will work for Studio 8. But sorry to say that this trick is only take out the bass off, and when you press again the two buttons, the bass will be back again to it's default tone, NOT giving the bass more for 20%.
my studio 7 has started to turn off on it's on and constantly disconnects from Bluetooth. I was never a big fan of the sound when it worked, too boomy I gave up on it and purchased another brand that sound fantastic.
I believe that Harman introduced this "low frequency" mode for the brand to become famous, just like what happened with JBL. JBL became famous because of the videos in which people activated the low frequency mode and put the box to play....
The video is bad, if you press the Bluetooth button and the bottom -, the bass level is adjusted, it has three levels, if the red LED flashes once, level 1, level 2 and 3 twice, then level 3. If it is press it again it returns to level 1. Likewise with the brightness but with the + button, the led will flash yellow. You are welcome. (Page 20 of the manual)
Well i am not going to tell anyone not to do this. Try it out. but you will not hear that the sound will improve. You will be setting it to Mono. The lauder sound doesn't come with bass and the sound will be scratchy.
feel you; found this video looking how to reduce this weird bass. For my Onyx 8 worked simultaneous press to + and - for a couple of seconds (10?), it will disable ultra bass. Pressing again will turn it on again
i just purchased the 8..my question is can i use it while plug in the ac outlet??will it damage the battery while doing that?i heard others say its completely fine while using it while its plug in..thanks
you can use it while plugged until fully charged. if you keep it plugged in while fully charged, overtime you will wear down the battery, and in return have less play time
@@jhad0205 when charging the speaker, if it needs it, the led light that usually lights white will turn red. when fully charged, it will go back to white. THIS IS IMPORTANT! before you unplug your speaker, power it off. if not, it will mess with the charging port and create looseness overtime
Hello Luca, I ask you: is this hack active until the combination is done again? or it must be done whenever the equipment is turned on, greetings from Argentina.
@@AudioTribe What I wanted to ask you is: once you activate it, is the modification active when the device turns off or does it always have to be done, greetings.
I bought my Onyx 4 last year when HK had a sale of this model. I believe I received new-old stock (NOS) and the battery is weak. Perhaps 3 hours yet I see replacement batteries are readily available on eBay etc...MAybe I will replace mine next year as an experiment.
This vid is lies i did it and all it does it makes my HK 7 sound very louder with no bass to adjust it and when i turn back to bass mode it just sounds the same again don't put it loud or else it will completely destroy your subwoofer
@@SPLSPECTRUM I am agree with you. This trick only take the bass off that makes the speaker sounds funny 😅. And when you press again the buttons for 8 sec, the bass will be back again to it's DEFAULT tone. It does NOT give the bass more for 20%.

And how do you know that combo of the buttons work? I tried on mine (onyx 8) and feel no difference, how much time you need to press + and -?
I want something for my TV. Was thinking about the studio 7 or a Polk signa solo sound bar.
Hello - I definitely recommend a soundbar for TV - try the LG Sn4 that is cheap but good or the JBL BAR 2.1 that is very good at 250 USD!
Studio 7 is good with tv and specially with movies, but i have small apartment. Maybe not that good in bigget apartment.

Take a look at who owns JBL...
Press the volume up and volume down button for 8 second to up the bass or reduce it.
✌️✌️✌️✌️
all that did was turn up and down my volume •_•
Can you test Harman Kardon Luna?

Is theyre a way to check the battery percentage also?
Frfr
I assume that it would beep beep when low battery. If it doesn't, you'll know the battery is too low when the music stops playing ;)
The led light will let you know when the battery is low.
Any body have experienced onyx7 didnot charging the charger was okey have any suggestions? Thankyou for comments.
mine is too bassy! i wonder if i can fix it.

Nope
@@sdkfeldfwerer6751 thx :(
It's too big and too heavy anyway!
Doesnt work for me 😢
I think my speakers are damaged
Why?
The function turning off bass sound in the onyx 7 is useless. It is just for testing not in ordinary listening music circumstance.
First to comment it's my dream to get a Sony srs xb 43 but I cant afford one right now do u ever do giveaways
If you want waterproof get the onyx 6 it’s cheaper by a little and sounds basically the same but has a little more bass
On Onyx 8, press the + and - buttons simultaneously
This hasnt worked for me.
This is just dsp Off setting

On my Onyx4...it must be done each time you turn on the unit. Sometimes its worth it such as if you are going to listen to an audiobook'
Brother, realistically at 50% volume for how long the battery lasts???
4h

onyx 8 de çalışmadı kod
Привет, у меня 2x Onyx7 в стерео режиме, есть задержка звука по блютуз, кто знает как ее уменьшить?
через aux кабель
привет! а стерео режим стабильно работает или глючит? вот думаю покупать вторую или нет
Hear what??
Yes, this turn the bass all the way down, with no crossovers working. It's just a programming mode, not useful for the final consumer.
Did you watch the video? It gives at least 20% more bass power! Thank anyways for the comment!
@@AudioTribe I had all the Onyx's series and this "trick" just take it off the bass and the sounds turns bad like sh|t.. But ok. Thank you 4 the video

Tengo la misma duda, tengo el 8 y si presionas el Bluetooth con el menos solo no pasa nada y si lo presionas con el más solo se hace un factory reset.
Whay a waste of time this video, as others have noted this only cuts out bass, and then you can revert back, thats it, just tried it on my HK 7
its odd cause it won't even do it on mine.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS Guy. HE EILL HAVE YOU NEEDING TO BUY A NEW SPEAKER!!
It's Low Frequency Mode.
It will destoy the woofer.
DO NOT activate it!!!😊
