if my stereo has treble and bass knobs and I set the bass at 9 and the treble at 8, how is that different then if I set the bass at 10 and the treble at 9?

Answer 1

imagine a knob for ‘midrange’ that is always set at 5.

your bass and treble curves move up more, midrange stays at 5.

yes the music will be a bit brighter, and at low volume levels will be similar to a ‘loudness’ switch that older equipment had. vocals/mids would be muted somewhat.

play around with the knobs and spend some time listening!
