 32 Hz: 

This is the lowest frequency selection on the EQ. This sits in the
lowest of low bass frequencies. This is where subwoofer information resides in
songs (such as kick drums and bass instruments). A majority of speaker
systems on the market can’t even reproduce this frequency – the only way you
can hear this frequency is with a good dedicated amplifier with a high-quality
subwoofer, or with some premium IEMs.
 64 Hz: This second bass frequency starts to become audible on decent
speakers or subwoofers. Again, mostly bass drums and bass instruments will
reside in this region.
 125 Hz: Many small speakers, such as in your laptop, can just about handle
this frequency for bass information. In other words, if you turn it up on most
systems, you’ll hear more bottom/bass in your mix.
 250 Hz: This is still considered low-end, but more of the “woofy” sound of
bass and drum sounds. Guitars and pianos will have a large amount of low end
in this frequency range.
 500 Hz: Now were approaching midrange frequencies, but still some of the
low end of vocals and the mids of bass instruments sit here in a mix.
 1K: This is now low midrange of most instruments such as guitars, pianos,
snare drums, etc.
 2K: The 2K frequency can boost or cut the “nasal” sound of your music, in the
range your voice makes when you hold your nose and talk.
 4K: 4K is the upper mid range that many electric guitars sit in, as well as a
large portion of many instruments.
 8K: This is getting into the high end, where the majority of cymbals and hi-
hats are, as well as upper range of synths, pianos and guitars. Many vocals
have a lot of information in this range.
 16K: Theoretically, us humans can hear just above 20K, so this is true high
end. If you crank this up, your songs will get ‘sizzly’. This is the top of high end
on the iTunes equalizer.
