Quad Equalizer Rock Preset

Last updated: August 2026

Rock 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, -1dB at 500Hz, +3dB at 2.5kHz, and +2dB at 8kHz. The high-mid boost helps guitars and vocals cut through a dense mix without needing to raise the volume.

Why This Shape Suits Rock

Rock mixes are typically dense with guitars, drums, and vocals competing in similar ranges, so a high-mid boost specifically targets the frequencies where lead instruments and vocals need to stand out from the rest of the band.
