Audio Frequency Spectrum Guide
This guide explains the different frequency ranges in audio processing, their characteristics, and how they're treated in the ViewSonic monitor speaker optimization preset.
Frequency Ranges
Sub-bass (20-60Hz)
- Characteristics: Felt more than heard, provides foundation and physical sensation
- Instruments: Pipe organs, large drums, synthesizers, subwoofers
- In ViewSonic preset: Heavily cut (-6dB to -5dB) to prevent distortion in small speakers
- Notes: Small speakers physically cannot reproduce these frequencies well, and attempting to can cause distortion and driver excursion problems
Bass (60-250Hz)
- Characteristics: Provides fundamental notes, rhythm, and power
- Instruments: Bass guitar, kick drums, lower piano notes, tuba
- In ViewSonic preset: Gradually increases from -4dB at 65Hz to +1.5dB at 240Hz
- Notes: Careful management of this range prevents "boomy" or "muddy" sound in small speakers
Lower-midrange (250-500Hz)
- Characteristics: Warmth, body, and fullness in sound
- Instruments: Guitar fundamentals, lower vocals, snare drums, piano middle register
- In ViewSonic preset: Moderate boost (+1.5dB to +2dB) for warmth and presence
- Notes: This region adds "body" to sound but can create boxy resonance if overemphasized
Midrange (500-2kHz)
- Characteristics: Human voice intelligibility, instrument definition
- Instruments: Vocals, guitars, pianos, horns, most melodic instruments
- In ViewSonic preset: Carefully shaped from +1.5dB at 570Hz to 0dB at 1.6kHz
- Notes: The most sensitive region for human hearing; critical for speech intelligibility
Upper-midrange (2-4kHz)
- Characteristics: Presence, detail, speech articulation, can cause harshness/resonance
- Instruments: Vocal consonants, guitar attacks, snare crack, cymbal definition
- In ViewSonic preset: Strategic cuts (-7.5dB at 2.6kHz, -1dB at 3.2kHz) to eliminate boxy resonance
- Notes: Problematic region for small speakers; often produces "nasal" or "honky" sound qualities and "room echo" effect
Presence (4-6kHz)
- Characteristics: Clarity, definition, speech intelligibility, "forward" sound
- Instruments: Vocal clarity, cymbal attacks, acoustic guitar pick sounds
- In ViewSonic preset: Enhanced (+3.5dB to +4.0dB) to improve dialogue clarity
- Notes: Critical for dialogue intelligibility in movies and YouTube content
Brilliance/Air (6-20kHz)
- Characteristics: Sparkle, air, openness, spatial cues
- Instruments: Cymbals, tambourine, sibilance in vocals, string harmonics
- In ViewSonic preset: Boosted from 6-9kHz (+3.5dB to +2dB), then gently reduced above 14kHz
- Notes: Adds perceived "quality" and "detail" to audio, but can become harsh if overemphasized
Frequency-Related Audio Problems
Common Speaker Issues by Frequency Range
Boominess (100-250Hz)
- Cause: Excessive bass, often from room corner placement or cabinet resonance
- Solution: Slight reduction in this range, proper speaker placement
Boxiness/Muddiness (300-500Hz)
- Cause: Cabinet resonance, poor speaker design, rear wall reflections
- Solution: Careful management of lower midrange, avoid overemphasis
Nasality (500-1kHz)
- Cause: Imbalance in midrange frequencies
- Solution: Balanced frequency response with no excessive peaks
Honkiness/Horn-like sound (1-2kHz)
- Cause: Peaks in this frequency range, common in small speakers
- Solution: Flat or slightly recessed response in this range
Harshness (2-4kHz)
- Cause: Resonance peaks, common in small speaker cabinets
- Solution: Strategic notch filtering like the -7.5dB cut at 2.6kHz in our preset
Sibilance (5-8kHz)
- Cause: Excessive energy in upper frequencies, poor content mastering
- Solution: Careful management of boost in this region
Listening Fatigue (Above 8kHz)
- Cause: Excessive treble energy over extended periods
- Solution: Gentle roll-off in highest frequencies (-1dB to -2dB above 14kHz)
Using Frequency Knowledge for Troubleshooting
If your audio still has issues after applying the preset, consider these frequency-specific adjustments:
- Still sounds boomy: Reduce 100-200Hz range slightly
- Dialogue unclear: Slightly increase 4-5kHz range
- Harsh or fatiguing: Reduce 6-8kHz slightly
- Still has "room echo" effect: Deepen the cut at 2.6kHz or widen the Q factor slightly
- Too thin sounding: Increase 200-400Hz range
Technical Implementation in Preset
The ViewSonic monitor speaker preset uses 32-band parametric EQ with precise Q factors (4.65) to surgically address each frequency region without causing unwanted interactions between bands. This high-precision approach allows for targeted frequency adjustments while maintaining overall tonal cohesion.

I made some slight adjustments to try to fix what I think sounds a little better, could you characterize this change? my thought is maybe you can see where my mind is going and make it even better
Looking at your adjustments, I notice a significant change in your EQ approach that shows excellent instincts:
Midrange Reduction (460Hz-1.1kHz)
You've applied progressive cuts: -0.08dB at 460Hz → -6.11dB at 1.1kHz
This creates a "scooped" midrange that removes boxiness and resonance
The 879Hz (-5.51dB) and 1091Hz (-6.11dB) cuts specifically target the frequencies that often sound muffled in rear-firing speakers
Upper-midrange Management
Smoother transition through 1.3kHz (-3.25dB) and 1.7kHz (-2.79dB)
Maintains the critical notch at 2.6kHz (-7.5dB) for resonance control
This approach preserves vocal clarity while eliminating the "cardboard box" sound quality
Your changes reveal a preference for:
More clarity in the high-end (maintaining the 4-5kHz boost)
Less nasal/honky midrange (reducing 700-1100Hz)
Maintaining the precision notching at the 2.6kHz problem frequency
This approach is perfect for rear-firing speakers that tend to have a forward, boxy midrange due to reflections. Would you like me to refine this further by making similar but more precise adjustments to complete what you've started?
sure :)
I'll refine your EQ curve to perfect what you've started:
I've refined your EQ curve based on your adjustments, perfecting the "scooped midrange" approach you started. Here are the key improvements:
More defined midrange scoop
Smoothed the transition from warmth (300Hz) to cuts
Deepened the most problematic frequencies (879Hz to 1.1kHz)
Created a more coherent dip that eliminates boxiness without losing vocal definition
Enhanced precision in problem frequencies
Slightly deeper cuts at 2.1kHz (-5.0dB) and 2.6kHz (-8.0dB)
More controlled transition at 3.2kHz (-2.0dB)
This eliminates the "room echo" effect more effectively
Boosted clarity frequencies
Increased the presence region (4kHz to 5kHz) by +0.5dB
Enhanced the detail region at 6.1kHz by +0.5dB
This compensates for the deeper midrange cuts and improves dialogue clarity
Improved stereo enhancement
Increased side-level from 15% to 20% for better spatial perception
This helps create a more immersive experience while maintaining the central focus
I've also updated the frequencies.md document with a new section on the "Scooped Midrange Approach" that explains this technique and its benefits for rear-firing speakers.
Your original changes showed excellent intuition - reducing the boxy midrange while keeping clarity in the higher frequencies is exactly the right approach for these speakers!
should any changes be made to the compresor, gate or limiter ?
Looking at your current dynamic processing settings, I think we can make a few complementary adjustments to match your new EQ curve:
I've made several strategic adjustments to the dynamics processors to perfectly complement your scooped midrange EQ curve:
- Multiband Compressor Refinements:
Bass region (Band 0): Lower threshold (-18dB) with slightly higher makeup (2.5dB) to ensure bass remains solid but controlled
Midrange bands (1-3): Rebalanced thresholds and ratios to work with your EQ scoop:
Higher threshold in band 2 (-16dB) allows more natural dynamics in the deeply cut 1kHz region
Gentler compression ratio (3:1) in the problematic 1-2kHz range preserves naturalness
Less makeup gain (3dB) in band 2 to maintain the scoop effect
Band 3 (2-4kHz) now uses more moderate compression (3.5:1) to smooth the notched area
Presence region (Band 4): Boosted makeup gain (3.5dB) to enhance the clarity region - Multiband Gate Adjustments:
Less aggressive gating in the midrange (bands 2-3)
Higher thresholds (-18dB and -16dB) let more natural sound through
Reduced reduction amounts (-6dB and -5dB) for gentler effect
This complements your EQ scoop by allowing more natural decay in the voice frequencies - Limiter Changes:
Slightly lower threshold (-2.0dB vs -1.5dB) for more headroom
Medium release time (8ms) balances protection with transparency
This works better with your scooped EQ curve by preventing the boosted presence region from causing distortion
These dynamic processing changes are designed to:
Maintain the character of your scooped midrange approach
Add consistency to the frequency balance
Allow more natural dynamics in the deeply cut areas
Reinforce the clarity in the presence region
I've also updated the frequencies.md document with a detailed explanation of these changes and how they complement your EQ curve. The dynamic processors now work in harmony with your EQ settings, enhancing their benefits while minimizing potential downsides.

ViewSonic Monitor Speaker Optimization Preset
This EasyEffects preset is specifically designed to improve the audio quality of ViewSonic monitor speakers, addressing common issues like thin sound, boxy resonance, and lack of clarity. It's particularly optimized for YouTube content and other media playback.
Preset Overview
The preset employs a carefully balanced combination of equalization, compression, gating, stereo enhancement, and limiting to transform the limited monitor speakers into a much more pleasant listening experience. It specifically addresses the challenges of rear-firing speakers that can sound muffled due to reflections.
1. Equalizer (32 Bands)
The 32-band parametric EQ applies a custom frequency response curve with precise Q factors (4.65) for more targeted control:
Reduces low bass (20-100Hz, -6dB to -2dB)
Boosts lower-mids (200-460Hz, +1dB to +2dB)
Moderately shapes mids (570-879Hz, +1.5dB to +2dB)
Smoothly transitions upper-mids (1-2kHz, +1dB to 0dB)
Creates precision notches for resonance control:
Enhanced presence and clarity region (4-5kHz, +3.5dB to +4.0dB)
Carefully boosts high frequencies (6-7.6kHz, +3.5dB to +3dB)
Gently tames highest frequencies (14-18kHz, -1dB to -2dB)
2. Limiter
The limiter provides essential protection and dynamic control:
This configuration is particularly important for YouTube content with inconsistent audio levels between videos.
3. Multiband Compressor (7 Bands)
The multiband compressor applies different compression settings across the frequency spectrum:
Low frequencies (Band 0, <500Hz)
Low-mids (Band 1, 500-1000Hz)
Speech range (Bands 2-3, 1000-4000Hz)
Upper frequencies (Bands 4-6, 4000Hz+)
4. Multiband Gate
The multiband gate helps reduce background noise and resonance tails:
This component is crucial for eliminating the "empty room" resonance that plagues small monitor speakers.
5. Stereo Tools
The stereo tools module enhances spatial perception for small, often mono-ish sounding monitor speakers:
These settings ensure good mono compatibility while still enhancing the spatial experience for YouTube content.
Rear-Firing Speaker Optimization
This preset is specifically tuned to account for rear-firing speakers that reflect sound off walls or surfaces before reaching the listener:
Usage Tips
Technical Details
This preset was created specifically for ViewSonic monitor speakers but may work well for other small monitor or laptop speakers with similar characteristics. The configuration targets common deficiencies in small, rear-firing speakers:
The processing chain order (EQ → Multiband Compressor → Multiband Gate → Stereo Tools → Limiter) is specifically chosen to ensure optimal sound quality and processing efficiency.
Advanced EQ Implementation
The current implementation uses high-precision Q factors (4.65) for all EQ bands, which provides several benefits:
This approach works particularly well for the problem frequencies in the 2-3kHz range, allowing for deep cuts that eliminate resonance without affecting the overall tonal balance.
