Why add an equalizer?
Let’s talk a little bit more
about equalizers.
In layman’s terms, an equalizer
is an expanded tone control.
Most stereo systems on the
market today basically have two to three different tone
controls:
-
Low or bass
-
Midrange
-
High or treble
Equalizers
will have all three, but will control a much wider range
such as:
-
High
-
Medium high
-
Midrange high
-
Midrange low
-
Medium bass
-
Low bass and others

Most humans have a hearing
range of 20hz to 20Khz.
The 20hz range are low frequencies such as
20hz to 5khz bass, 5k to12k midrange and high 12hz to
20Khz.
As mentioned before, most audio systems will only
incorporate two to three different tone controls.
Example
Low (Bass) = 20hz to 5khz
Midrange = 100 to12k
High (treble) = 12hz to 20Khz
Each frequency covers a specific
sound, musical instrument, voice etc.
Notice the limitation of
the audio system frequency response.
What the equalizer will
do for your system will essentially spread the 20hz to 20Khz
in five more manageable controls, allowing you to
"customize" your car stereo system to match the vehicles
interior acoustics and your audio reproduction preference.
Some folks like lots of treble and others prefer a lot of
"mid bass".
