.......the low end and high end of our ears works lesser with ageing, so the boost should overcome that...
32khz is below what most cheaper speakers and subwoofers range..
I agree, just accentuate that the loss is more pronounced in the high range. If I apply a
steep filter that removes anything above 10 kHz I no more can hear any difference. I can still hear the effect of a filter that takes out low requencies, which with age tend to starts to become a disturbing growl.
As to 32 Hz, that was the lowest tone the church organ in my small home town church could produce. Really big organs can produce 16 hz and some even 8 hz. 50 or 60 hz is the sinewave hum you get from mains and you definitely hear that as a clear tone. But the 32 Hz felt more like a vibration than a sound so I gues that is what "good vibration" are in a disco, you feel them.
Pleaase look at Lee's illustration. If the Q has a big numbe the + 12 would not have much of an effect, but if Q is a small number the + 12 HZ will affect sounds also in a much higher Hz range. It is a bit confusing small Q number = large spread of frequencies affected , high Q numer = narrow spread of frquencies affected. (One would think it is the other way round
)
As to the GENOS Golden EQI if you choose the Golden EQ and then play with the + 12 dB setting at 32 Hz you will hear a clear change in the bass, but that does mean 32 Hz are coming of of your speakers as Bachus correctly points out the speakers we mostly use cannot produce 32 Hz properly. The non ajustable Q must by default be set to a low number = large range. Thereby you change the boost in frequencies in the range of the bass in your accompaniment.
I always have my Genos transposed upwards to F as my singer prefers that and still the 32 Hz +12 boost changes the sound quite obviously.
