sound.
150 Hz: Boosting or cutting the normal bass.
400 Hz: Increasing or decreasing the power,
spaciousness and warmth of the sound.
1 kHz: Providing more presence for vocals, and
moving the sound forward or into the background.
adjustment
2.4 kHz: Lowering the level will reduce stridency,
and raising will make the base sound brighter,
6 kHz: Increasing or decreasing the brightness of
the sound; for example, raising the level will make
the violin sound silky smooth.
14 kHz: Changing the general atmosphere rather
than the sound itself.
Raising the level will highlight the delicate quality
of insfrumental sound, and lowering will reduce
high-frequency noise such as the resonant peak
of a cartridge, tape hiss, etc.
