Bass
Treble
Heavy bass band (63 Hz) Increasing this level reproduces the low-frequency instruments such as the bass
and bass drum in a heavy, stable tone. If very low frequencies are too noticeable
during listening, decrease this level to an appropriate level.
Bass band (160 Hz) With Japanese-style houses that are less tightly close to European-style houses,
the resonant frequency of the listening room is often located in this band, so the
low frequencies tend to be exaggerated. In this case, it is often recommended to
decrease this level to reduce resonance in the listening room.
Mid-bass band (400 Hz) This band is the basis of music and determines the richness of music. If the audio is
felt poor, it is recommended to increase this level slightly to enrich the sound.
Mid band (1 kHz) This Mid band affects most the music featuring the vocal, either enhancing or
attenuating the feeling of presence of the vocal according to its level. It is also
associated with the depth of music.
Mid-treble band (2.5 kHz) When increased, this band makes the sound more stimulating, metallic or hard. This
band can represent freshness or brightness according to the setting, but too much
enhancement may sometimes render the sound noisy.
Treble band (6.3 kHz) This band effects the image of music such as the hardness or softness. Increasing its
level enriches the sounds of strings (violin, etc.) or wind instruments (flute, piccolo,
etc.), but decreasing its level makes these sounds rather quiet.
Ultrahigh treble band
(16 kHz)
This band affects the expansion and quality of sound. Increasing its level represents
the ultrahigh-frequency instruments (triangle, cymbal, etc.) brilliant at the same
time as increasing the expansion and delicacy of their sounds.
