EQ settings and what they do

511 viewsOtherTechnology

My car has a 13-band EQ (40 Hz, 63 Hz, 100 Hz, 160 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1.0 kHz, 1.6 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 4.0 kHz, 6.3 kHz, 10 kHz, and 16 kHz.)

Could someone please explain what each of those bands means? What do they correspond to? (highs, mids, lows, bass, vocals, different instruments, etc.)

Thanks!

Science has measured all the sounds we hear, and the lowest, deepest sounds like thunder get low numbers, while the highest pitched sounds like hissing or when your sister screams get high numbers.

The scale we use to measure how we hear these sounds is called Hertz (Hz)

So when you want to adjust the way music sounds with an equalizer, slide the left one up for more thunder, or down for less, and so on from left to right.
