Mr. JKing
In digital consoles, the EQ (Equalizer) section is used to adjust the tone and frequency balance of an audio signal. Here's a breakdown of the common frequency ranges and their corresponding names:
Frequency Ranges
- *Low Frequencies (Bass):* 20 Hz to 200 Hz
- Sub-Bass: 20 Hz to 60 Hz (very low rumble)
- Bass: 60 Hz to 200 Hz (low-end warmth and body)
- *Low-Mid Frequencies:* 200 Hz to 500 Hz
- Low-Mid: 200 Hz to 300 Hz (warmth and body)
- Mid-Bass: 300 Hz to 500 Hz (attack and definition)
- *Mid Frequencies:* 500 Hz to 2 kHz
- Midrange: 500 Hz to 1 kHz (clarity and presence)
- Upper-Mid: 1 kHz to 2 kHz (detail and articulation)
- *High Frequencies (Treble):* 2 kHz to 20 kHz
- High-Mid: 2 kHz to 4 kHz (presence and clarity)
- Treble: 4 kHz to 8 kHz (brightness and air)
- High-Treble: 8 kHz to 20 kHz (sparkle and sheen)
EQ Colors
- *Red:* Often used to represent low frequencies (bass)
- *Yellow/Orange:* May represent mid frequencies (warmth and presence)
- *Green:* Can represent midrange frequencies (clarity and detail)
- *Blue:* Typically represents high frequencies (treble and brightness)
