3.2 Effects of equalization on music program
Center frequency (Hz) | Effects on music | |
1/3 octave | ||
| ||
| Fundamentals of bass drum, tuba, double bass and organ. | |
31 to 63 | These frequencies give music a sense of power. If over- | |
emphasised they make the music "muddy". The 50 or | ||
| ||
| 60 Hz band is also used to reject AC mains hum. | |
|
| |
| Fundamentals of lower tympani. Too much boost produces | |
80 to 125 | excessive "boom". 100 or 125 Hz are also used for hum | |
| rejection. | |
|
| |
| Drum and lower bass. Too much boost produces | |
160 to 250 | excessive "boom". Also useful for 3rd harmonic mains hum | |
| rejection. | |
|
| |
315 to 500 | Fundamentals of strings and percussion. | |
|
| |
| Fundamentals and harmonics of strings, keyboards and | |
630 to 1k | percussion. Boosting the 600 to 1 kHz range can make | |
| instruments sound | |
|
| |
| Drums, guitar, accentuation of vocals, strings and bass. | |
1.25k to 4k | Too much boost in the 1 to 2 kHz range can make | |
instuments sound tinny. Too much boost anywhere | ||
| ||
| between 1 to 4 kHz can produce "listening fatigue". | |
|
| |
| Accentuation of percussion, cymbals and snare drum. | |
5k to 8k | Reduction at 5 kHz makes overall sound more distant and | |
transparent. Reduction of tape hiss and system noise. The | ||
| ||
| 1.25 to 8 kHz governs clarity and definition. | |
|
| |
10k to 16k | Cymbals and overall brightness. Too much boost causes | |
sibilance. Reduction of tape hiss and system noise. | ||
