Sound balance

Hey all!

Is it just me or the music/radio sounds slightly out of balance in the new mini? with the windows open, i get that the sound may seem louder on one side to the other, however, i feel like the sound has a little more meat to it on the passenger side, than the driver side, especially with vocals...

Anyone else notice?

Seems to me you are able to balance the sound with the options contained
within the radio

I find that the HK sound is generally "right", but I am disappointed that there aren't surround sound equalizer options of any kind.

Your left leg (us) or right leg (UK) will block some of the sound from the speaker and set up an imbalance. Between the fader and l/r balance adjustments, you should be able to tweak it out.
