Tone Tips

Set up

For reference, start with the tone controls fl at (straight-up, twelve o’clock). In this 

position, there is no equalization applied to your sound. Begin at a very low

volume and work your way up. As you turn up, try adjusting the Loudbox Artist’s 
tone controls as recommended below.

1. Low volume

At a low volume (just above conversation level) our ears are not very sensitive to 

bass and treble, so give the Low and High controls a good boost.

2. Medium volume

At intermediate levels, when you need to raise your voice to be heard over the 

music, the human ear is quite sensitive to midrange. Cut the Mid control to 
about ten o’clock or to your taste. At this level our perception of bass and treble 
starts to catch up to the rest of the tonal spectrum, so you can back off the Low 
and High controls slightly for good tonal balance.

3. High volume

At loud levels, when you must shout to be heard over the music, your ears (and 

your audience) will benefi t from a deep midrange cut. Set the Mid dial between 

nine and seven o’clock. Our perception of bass and treble “fl attens out” at high 

volumes, so you won’t need much, if any, Low or High boost. Set the Low and 
High knobs to between twelve and one o’clock.
