Audio control is handled through a Direct EQ key, 2-band EQ, balance and fader controls, and loudness correction. Below is what each feature does and why it matters.

Direct EQ Key

The MVH-S145BT has a Direct EQ key that lets you change the equalizer setting with a single touch, rather than navigating through a menu. This makes it faster to switch between EQ presets to suit different music genres or listening preferences while driving.

• EQ access: Direct EQ key, single-touch

• EQ bands: 2 Band

Built-In Bluetooth

The unit has built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, enabling hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming from a paired phone. This removes the need for a separate Bluetooth adapter and keeps the hands-free function easy and safe to operate while driving.

• Hands-free calling: Supported

• Wireless audio streaming: Supported

• Built-in microphone: Yes, wired BT MIC built-in

FLAC Codec Support

The MVH-S145BT supports FLAC files, which reproduce audio detail more faithfully than compressed formats, in some cases surpassing CD-quality playback. The unit also decodes MP3, WMA, and WAV formats, covering most common music file types.

• Supported formats: MP3, WMA, FLAC, WAV

• FLAC playback: Supported, for higher-fidelity audio reproduction

Power Output

Audio Controls: Balance, Fader, and Loudness
