It really boils down to your taste, no setting is "right." +1 low. 0 mid. +3 highs. If you have a good quality CD, everything should remain close to "0" as the studio already fine tuned the sound.

Well, that's a big debate. Studios master for the masses.

The masses listen use iTunes. Not everyone has a kickin setup.

Basically, you adjust the curve to the opposite of your ears sensitivity.

Bass takes more power than hi frequencies.

With that in mind, set bass treble to zero. That's midway.

Next, boost 100hz, but cut 250hz to get rid of the mud.

I will post a curve that works for most music tomorrow.

1. Reset all settings.

100Hz +5
200Hz -3
500Hz -6
1kHz -3
2kHz 0
5kHz +1
10kHz +2

Next, play your tunes. Remember, you need power to move the low end, so turn up the volume. Don't over do it, but don't be a wimp.

Lower the 100Hz if your bottom end is overbearing. Lower 200Hz if the sound is muddy. (Just a click or two and nothing drastic).

If you have B&O, set to studio if you are super critical about listening. If you are emotional about music or if you are a live music lover then set it to expanded.

Finally, salt to taste: Once you are happy with the overall EQ, turn up the volume and use the bass and treble controls to fine tune each song. In fact, I like to use a memory button linked to the bass.

If you are having a problem with your sound, post the issue and we will try to help.
