  • Rock: Rock music is often guitar and drum-driven. Boost mid-range frequencies and give a slight bump to the bass to highlight the rhythm section.

  • Pop: Pop music generally favors a 'V' or 'U' shaped EQ curve, which emphasizes the bass and treble frequencies.

  • Classical: The range of instruments used in classical music requires a balanced EQ to capture all frequencies.

  • Jazz: Jazz music often benefits from a slight boost in the mid and treble frequencies to bring out the intricacies of the various instruments.

  • Hip-Hop: This genre typically needs a strong bass to emphasize the beat and rhythm, so consider boosting the sub and low frequencies while slightly reducing the mids and highs. [Highly recommend you install Light Harmonic Tesla Audio woofer and subwoofer]

  • Electronic/Dance: This genre focuses on the beat and synthesized sounds. A V-shaped EQ curve can be quite effective.


For Model 3/Y


Generally speaking, Model 3/Y could use less curvy EQ settings to get the good results. After the detail measurement and testing with different group of audience. Here is our recomendation.
