Quad Equalizer Gaming Preset

Last updated: August 2026

Gaming tends to reward a specific EQ shape — here's a starting point built for it.

The live QuadEqualizer tool — runs entirely in your browser, no upload required.

Suggested Starting Values

Try -2dB at 60Hz, 0dB at 500Hz, +2dB at 2.5kHz, and +2dB at 8kHz. Reduced rumble and boosted high-mids help positional audio cues like footsteps and reloads stand out.

Why This Shape Suits Gaming

Competitive gaming rewards hearing information first and enjoying impact second, so this preset trades away some bass weight specifically to make footsteps and directional cues easier to pick out.
