Manufacturer-documented Reviewed 2026-11-09 · Revision 1
Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Exact Focal Bathys MG with a Bluetooth source. Sound feels thin at a comfortable low listening level. EQ adjusts tonal balance; it is not a hearing-loss remedy or an instruction to increase maximum volume. Reversible checks only; no factory reset or pairing-list deletion.
Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: Playback is too quiet or uneven.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
What owners have reported
These are public, self-reported experiences. They help explain the order of checks and the limits of a guide. They are not controlled tests, proof of a cause, a success rate or a substitute for the manufacturer instructions above.
User-reported Bathys MG owners discussing EQ preset availability
An owner reported seeing Home and Loudness but not Dynamic. Later comments reported changing availability, illustrating why app options should be checked on the actual unit.
How this informs the checks: The guide uses Home/Loudness documented on the official MG FAQ and does not promise a Dynamic preset.
Limits: Historical, self-reported app/firmware context; no present firmware state or release promise is inferred.
