"Perfect" iTunes equalizer setting
Submitted by Merlin on August 27, 2007 - 3:18am.
I noticed a lot of people are favoriting this screen grab of the “Perfect” iTunes equalizer setting (I posted it to Flickr, so I won’t keep forgetting it when I need it).
Ever since I saw this in that Mac OS X Hints article, I’ve used it as my default equalizer in iTunes – it seems to give a nice pop to MP3 tracks in particular.
HOWTO and specific settings from the original article:
Open the equalizer, and from the pop-up menu, select “Make Preset.” Call it “Perfect,” because it is, and set the following levels, from left to right (skip the Preamp section):
db +3, +6, +9, +7, +6, +5, +7, +9, +11, +8 db

I’ve tried this preset on my Aluminum iMac while listening to a mix of light rock, jazz, vocal, and beat-heavy music, and all of it sounded better than with the flat setting. Perhaps my ears are “broken” - you don’t see me crying about it.
