Anyone having issues with their ML. After volume at 45, the bass & mods cut out. Then slowly come back in & then out again. Sounds like an AM radio when this occurs. This is on my Lux+
Mark Levinson 21-speaker audio sounds terrible on the GX 550 Luxury +

I donāt think there are any true subs, they are just pushing the base through mid range speakers which is why the bass sounds so bad.
I finally took delivery today, on an OT+ w/ the ML, and I gotta say Iām glad I took the negative reports with a grain of salt because Iām thrilled with how it sounds out of the gate. Not trying to prove anyone wrong or dispute opinions, but wanted to throw out a different viewpoint to help folks like me who were hearing folks say it sounded poor and considered if I was making a mistake. Iād gladly pay the 1,200 again for this upgrade. For reference, Iām an early 40ās dude who lives and breathes music, have nice sound setups at home, I play guitar and am in a band, and have a small recording setup at homeā¦I have a discerning ear, listen to all genres going from blues to hip hop in the same breadth. Ran this through some of my favorite tracks today without changing any settings yet, and was thoroughly pleasedā¦smiles ear to ear. Just FWIW, to each their own.
Iāll keep a lookout for this bass cutout issue though.

I just realized that if I fade conpletely to the rear mid song, there is zero bass. Not sure if itās a software or hardware issue, but very odd indeed. Can anyone else test this and see if you get similar results?
Iām in the camp of the ML system is only āaverageā. Definitely doesnāt live up to the marketing or price tag. Itās just OK.
Im in a Lux+, the tuning is centered in front, middle of dash. If faded backwards all quality is lost (including sitting in 2nd row).
I love the vehicle but the ML system is definitely top-3 most disappointing features.
Iām loving mine so far. OT+ Solid and clean sound.
Same. Just got mine this evening and I think it sounds very good.
Yep, see post #15 of this thread.
The ML "Sound Tuning" setting in my Lux+ sounds exactly the same when Centered and Front Centered. I've tried using multiple music sources when comparing Center vs Front Center setting - there is no difference. Can anyone explain this? Seems there is a legitimate quality concern with this sound system. Hoping there is a fix.
Felt like mine definitely went through a break in and sound great now. Also sources matter, I listen through Tidal premium. XM radio sounds ok, but thats expected due to the compression
Do you have surround sound turned off?
Any update from the service department?
Iāve had my GX Lux + for a week and Iāve been happy with the ML so far. I think it depends on what you like. I agree itās not a lot of deep bass if thatās what you are into.
I know the break in period has been mentioned multiple times here but what I havenāt seen is if there is any recommendations for whatās the best sound tuning configuration to keep it on during the break in period (if that even matters).

Not a bass head, so Iām enjoying the clarity, mid bass of the ML so far. Iām coming from a bose sound system on my Macan and that sucked. Prior to that I had the step below burmeister on my gls and I think that sounded on par with the ML. I dialed treble and bass up one step on the ML so far. I listen to mostly pop/rnb/vocals.
