With that being said, there are some fairly well standardised preset EQs for specific types of music. What sounds good to you may sound like complete garbage to someone else. Something important to bear in mind is that when you’re adjusting sound levels at such an intricate level, the results are often very subjective. To suit the music: If you’re into hip-hop or EDM, an EQ setting that emphasises bass could enhance the beat.To suit audio equipment: Do you have some new headphones that you really love, but they lack a touch of treble? Add it yourself!.Personal taste: Maybe you prefer your music with a touch more bass.So the natural question is, why would anyone want to change that stuff? Here are a few reasons: A ‘Treble Boost’ would be the same on the right-hand side, and ‘Balanced’ would mean that no sliders were moved at all. To recreate that on an equalizer like the one above, you can just shove the sliders on the left-hand side to the top. Perhaps the most common preset EQ setting that we see is ‘Bass Boost’. Conversely, moving a slider downwards will reduce the volume. As you move a slider towards the top, the system will increase the volume of sounds at this frequency. Sounds with a low frequency (the numbers towards the left) are bass sounds, high frequencies (towards the right) are treble. The numbers along the bottom (and top on in the picture above) denote frequencies.

You might know that it does something to the sound, but what exactly are you doing when you move the sliders up and down? You’ve probably seen one of these before, whether it was on a physical Hi-Fi system or in the settings menu of a music player on your phone or computer.
