Podcasts and movies, too

Podcast presets bring voices forward over road noise. Movie presets give video a cinematic sound stage. Both can be shown or hidden in Settings.

Wide screen or tall

Built with Android's car templates, so it looks at home on landscape and portrait displays alike, and stays easy to use at a glance.

One EQ for everything the car plays

System-wide

MCEqual runs on the car's audio output, so it reaches your music apps, even the ones that never announce themselves. It starts with the car and comes back on by itself when music starts.

Distortion Protection

Keeps loud songs from distorting by turning each preset down by its biggest boost. Turn the car's volume up to make up for it.

Atmos mode

Turns the EQ off for a while so Dolby Atmos audio plays untouched, without uninstalling anything. Designed for Cadillac cars.

Presets made for your ears

A hearing tone test makes a preset from how well you hear each band. Available while parked.

Safe while driving

Editing presets, master gain and the tone test are there while parked. Anything not allowed in gear is hidden or locked while the car moves.

Bring your presets

Import the presets you made in MCEqual Max on your phone, synced through your Google account.

34 presets, each with its own icon

Music, podcast and movie presets, each with an icon and colour you can pick out at a glance from the driver's seat.

Will it work in my car?

Your car needs Android Automotive, the version of Android that runs the car's own screen (sometimes sold as “Google built-in”).

Want CarPlay or Android Auto in this car?

MCEqual Ultra is a plug-in adapter that brings them to cars with Google built-in, wirelessly, with the equalizer on top.
