Musical Frequencies

Sound consists of different frequencies, roughly divided into low frequency (20-200 Hz), mid-frequency (200-4 kHz), and high frequency (5k-20 kHz). Adjusting the frequency changes the intensity of different elements of the sound, and can make a big difference.

- Low frequencies give the sound power, like a bass drum beat.

- Mid frequencies contain vocals and most instruments.

- High frequencies bring detail to the sound.

Usage Tips

Music: When listening to electronic music or rock music, increase the low frequency to make the music more intense, and reduce the mid-frequency to reduce muddiness.

When listening to classical music, reduce the low frequency and raise the mid-to-high frequencies to emphasize the instruments and vocals.

Movies, TV, and Podcasts: Boosting the mid-frequency can highlight the human voice and make the dialogue clearer, and reducing the low frequency can reduce muddiness.

Muddy Sound, Too Much Low-End: Reduce the gain of the 80 Hz and 150 Hz frequency points, and increase the gain of the middle and high frequency points above 3 kHz. This should make the sound clearer and less muddy.

Dull or Unclear Vocals: Boost the gain of the 600 Hz or 1.2 kHz frequency points, and reduce the gain of the middle and low frequencies.

Harsh or Dull High Frequencies: Adjust the gain of the 5 kHz and 9 kHz frequency points to achieve balance, and avoid over-increasing the gain for only one of the frequency points.
