AN OVERVIEW OF JBL EQUALIZER SETTINGS

In JBL equalizers there are some audio settings. You can adjust the bass, treble, and other frequencies according to your taste.

The EQ settings don’t only give the whole control of audio handling to the user but it also helps to make the sound clear, synchronized, and louder.

There are many options in the EQ settings of JBL speakers, earbuds, and other audio devices. It varies according to the devices.

I mean, in the earbuds you will find fewer EQ settings than in a big speaker.

Types OF Equalizers

There are two main types of equalizers. One is Graphic Equalizers and the second one is Parametric Equalizers.

Graphic Equalizers

The JBL audio devices have graphic equalizers. In this there you can control or change the frequency settings by moving the sliders up and down (right and left in some cases).

This is the easiest and simple way to do EQ settings.

No, or very little technical knowledge is required to handle it.

Range Of Frequencies In Equalizer Settings

There are normally 10 sliders through which you can control the frequencies. The frequencies range from 31 Hz to 16KHz.

Parametric Equalizers

Parametric equalizers are more deep and precise than graphic equalizers. You may require technical knowledge to control it.

TABLE OF EQUALIZER FREQUENCIES

FREQUENCIES	FUNCTIONS
31 Hz	Ranges From 0 to 31 Hz. This frequency is for Bass Adjustment. 0 is the lowest and 31 is the highest.
62 Hz	This frequency is also for Bass Adjustment. Through this, you can adjust the bass at the midrange.
125 Hz	This is for Vocal and Instrument Adjustment. You can change the vocals and instrument frequencies according to your taste.

1KHz	This frequency is used to adjust the Brightness Of The Sound. You can make the sound bright or dull by adjusting this frequency.
2KHz	This frequency is used to control the Harshness Of Sound. Don’t compare it with volume. It is another thing.
4KHz	This frequency is somehow about controlling the Volume Of The Sound. You can louder your speaker by adjusting it.
8KHz	This frequency is used to make the sound Dull Or Shiner. You can adjust it according to your needs.
16KHz	This is the maximum range of frequency. It is only used to control the Treble. 0 means lowest Treble and 16KHz means Highest Treble.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KEEP IN MIND WHILE DOING EQUALIZER SETTINGS

Here are some tips you can follow before doing the equalizer settings.

1. Check Out The Default Settings

First of all, check out the default Equalizer Settings. If your speaker is sounding well at the default settings then you don’t need to change them.

2. Check Out The Room Acoustics

Correct placement and your room acoustics play a key role in producing excellent sound. You should place your speaker according to the placement and location of furniture in your room.

The placement of a speaker in an empty room is not the same as in a filled room. Try to mount your speaker above the floor (at least at a height of 4 feet).

3. Start It From Zero

Before doing the EQ settings, adjust all the sliders at the Zero position and now gradually increase or decrease them.

Play the music alongside. So you can find the best settings.

4. The same EQ Settings Are Not Applicable For All Devices

The below-mentioned equalizer settings are not full and final. It depends upon many things. The size and power of your speaker and specifically on your taste.

One setting can not be applicable to all audio devices, instruments, and music genres. Classical lovers don’t need much bass, while in the case of Pop or Rock singing the sound is tasteless without deep and crunchy bass.

5. Don’t Overdo It

Don’t overdo the settings too much. Change them gradually and test the sound even after doing a slight change.

Extreme fluctuations can make the sound harsh and unable to listen.

HOW TO DO JBL EQUALIZER SETTINGS?

I hope you have learned about the equalizer settings and all their frequencies. Now let’s understand, how can you do the equalizer settings of your JBL Audio Products.

BEST JBL EQUALIZER SETTINGS FOR BASS

Bass is everything for music lovers. All the audio devices are now tested on the base of Bass quality.

Here are some bass adjustments for JBL products.

Low-end Frequency

The recommended low-end frequency should be in-between 20Hz-250Hz. The sound level should be +2dB to +5dB.

This setting is superb for low-power speakers and it produces deep bass.

Midrange Frequency

The recommended midrange frequency should be in-between 250Hz-4KHz. The sound level should be –2dB to -5 dB.

This produces a clear and undistorted sound.

High-end Frequency

The high-end frequency range should be 4KHz to 20KHz. The sound level should be +2dB to +4dB.

This brings clarity and a little bit of loudness to the bass.

BEST JBL EQUALIZER SETTINGS FOR TV AND MOVIES

If you are worried about sound quality while watching movies or TV shows with your family or friends, don’t worry.

Here are some awesome equalizer settings which can deliver you clear, equal, synchronized, and undistorted sound.

 It makes the dialogue clear.

Turn On The TruVolume And TruSurround

If you are watching TV by connecting the soundbar, then you should turn ON the TruVolume and TruSurround of your soundbar.

It will stabilize and normalize the sound volume.

Bass Adjustment For TV

The range of the bass should be in-between +2 to +4.

These are optimum ranges. Don’t fluctuate between them too much.

Otherwise TV sound will become harsh and undistorted when there will be some explosion or fighting scenes appear.

This is good for clear dialogue delivery.

Midrange Adjustment

Here the slider should be kept at 0 (Flat).

I think this is the best for producing crunchy and clear sounds.

If you move the slider up and down, the dialogues will start to become noisy and hard to listen to.

Treble Adjustment

The recommended setting for treble is +1 to +3.

This is used to clarify the background sounds (which were too low to listen to) such as whispering or foot sounds etc.

BEST JBL EQUALIZER SETTINGS FOR CHARGE 5

Charge 5 is the most popular JBL portable speaker. It is a small-sized speaker with low power. But it doesn’t compromise on the Bass and sound quality.

After Charge 5, Flip 5 and 6 are the best portable speakers produced by JBL.

These are easy to carry because of their small size and are best for a smaller room.

BEST JBL EQUALIZER SETTINGS FOR XTREME 3

 There are some mixed reviews about the Xtreme 3 speaker. People said it is a portable speaker. No, this is not.

This is a heavyweight speaker which can only be placed in a room.

Honestly speaking, Xtreme 3 is not a budget-friendly speaker. You should try Flip 6 instead. The bass loudness is also not good in Xtreme 3. People complain that it doesn’t produce deep bass.

If you are one of them. I would recommend you try the given setting in order to increase the bass.

• Bass Adjustment: +2

For solving it Go to the Mobile Settings and from there locate the EQ settings and adjust it accordingly.

Many music streaming platforms like Spotify also have their own EQ settings.

Open the Spotify App. Go to the Menu. Then tap on Playback and then on Equalizer Settings.

From there you can adjust the volume, bass, and other settings according to your comfort.

CONCLUSION

I’m not saying that all the above-mentioned settings can’t be changed. They are just my personal suggestions.

Many people test their products on these settings and prove they are the best of all.

Here I only talk about the settings of Flip 5,6 and Extreme 3 because they are the most famous and most people use them.

If you are using your speakers along with your TV and mobile phone, remember to do the equalizer settings of your TV and mobile as well.

The last thing is to keep your settings safe or take pictures of them on your mobile so you can adjust them after resetting your device.
