Quad Equalizer Vocal Preset

Last updated: August 2026

Vocal 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 -1dB at 60Hz, +2dB at 500Hz, +3dB at 2.5kHz, and +1dB at 8kHz. Built specifically to bring a lead vocal or voice recording forward in the mix without sounding thin.

Why This Shape Suits Vocal

This preset is deliberately more aggressive in the two middle bands than the Podcast preset, since a lead vocal in a music mix has to compete with instruments in ways spoken-word podcast audio typically doesn't.
