Quad Equalizer Music Settings

Last updated: August 2026

Music settings vary more by genre than any other category — a curve that flatters a bass-heavy track can flatten an acoustic one.

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

A Genre-Neutral Baseline for Music

+2dB at 60Hz and +2dB at 8kHz gives most music a bit more life without changing its character. From there, adjust based on genre: bass-heavy styles benefit from pushing 60Hz further, while vocal- or acoustic-led music benefits more from the mid-range bands.

Where to Go From the Baseline

See the dedicated genre preset pages (Bass, Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, Classical, and more) for specific starting values tailored to particular styles, once this general baseline no longer feels specific enough.
