EQ Setting | Description |
Off | No EQ at all, put EQ into off if you want the bit-perfect output |
Flat | Flat EQ doesn't tune any frequency band but there's mathe calculation that may introduce quantization error so you can't achieve the bit-perfect output. |
Acoustic | Pump the bass, mid-ranges, and highs slightly to keep the instruments and vocals as clear as possible, without going overboard or sounding unnatural. It is the best equalizer setting for acoustic music. |
Bass Booster | Pump the bass (32~500 Hz) |
Bass Reducer | Lower the bass (32~500 Hz) |
Classical | Most instruments for these genres are pianos, acoustic guitars, violins, and full orchestras. Boost all the frequencies slightly to keep the lows, mid-ranges, and highs at an almost equal volume without affecting the clarity. |
Dance | This preset significantly reduces the brilliance while boosting the bass. Most songs will have deeper bass with this preset – but you’ll likely lose a lot of the treble frequencies like female vocals and string instruments. |
Deep | Deep sounds similar to the ‘dance’ preset, but it significantly lowers the treble. If you’re listening to songs with punchy bass, this preset will probably shake your eardrums. |
Electronic | The bass is super important, and vocals are not a primary focus. |
Hip-Hop | This preset prioritizes the sub-bass and bass since most hip-hop songs rely heavily on beats and rhymes. |
Jazz | The three main sounds of this preset are the sub-bass, midrange, and brilliance. Both instruments and vocals are slightly clearer with this EQ. |
Latin | It sounds very bright with the brilliance turned all the way up. Female vocals and string instruments are way louder with this preset. |
Loudness | Boosts certain frequencies, including bass and high, during low listening volumes. This is designed to compensate for normal changes in the ear’s sensitivity when listening to audio at low volumes. |
Lounge | This preset is made for relaxing and chill songs – the midrange frequencies are more visible than the lows and treble. Excellent for playing vocal-heavy songs. |
Piano | It is dedicated to piano music. |
Pop | This preset prioritizes the mids and slightly reduces the lows and highs. You can expect the general vocal sound to stand out from other frequencies. |
R&B | If you listen to a lot of songs with punchy bass and female vocalist, this one is for you. |
Rock | Bass, upper mid-range, and brilliance are turned up. You can expect the sound to become noticeably brighter since most rock songs are heavy on the guitar riffs. |
Small Speakers | Used for small speakers lacking the bass while the treble is tuned up too much |
Spoken Word | Boost the frequencies of the human voice (around 250~4k Hz), and lower the bass, making the dialog easier to hear. Good for TV news or podcast audio. |
Treble Booster | Boost the treble (1K ~ 20K) |
Treble Reducer | Lower the treble (1K ~ 20K) |
Vocal Booster | Boost the vocal (250 Hz ~ 4K Hz) |
