If you’ve got basic know-how of how equalizers work, and you can tweak your favorite songs and adjust them to sound their best withstanding all the road noises and ambient sounds of your car, then this article is for you.
You’ve probably already tried and failed to improve the mid-bass in your car’s stereo. After several attempts, you’re finally here. Well, sit back, relax, we’re going to take you on a ride exploring all there is to know about mid-bass and how to make the best of it.
What Exactly Is Mid-bass?
For those of you who don’t really know, mid-bass is the audio frequency that ranges between 200Hz and 500Hz. It’s a very tricky frequency range because a whole lot of instruments tend to have their pitches within this range. Almost everything from voice to brass instruments falls within this frequency.
Hence, it’s considered the most critical frequency range by both sound engineers as well as listeners.
Generally speaking, the simplest way to improve your car stereo’s mid-bass performance is by adding separate mid-bass speakers and setting the equalizer to range between 200Hz and 500Hz.
Or, you could just go manual and just soundproof your car’s doors and install speakers on foam baffles. Hold on. I haven’t told you what mid-bass speakers are, have I?
What Makes Speakers Mid-bass?
Mid-bass speakers or woofers are designed so that they can highlight and emphasize certain frequency ranges known as a high pass frequency (200Hz-500Hz). They naturally add more depth to the sound produced by your car’s sound system.
Some folks out there like using subwoofers and mid-range woofers to get sound that has the Mid-bass blended between the two. But that can be tricky. If you can’t manage to set it up properly, the frequency gets spread out and sounds all thin and muffled.
Mid-bass speakers are specifically designed to tackle this problem by toning down the frequencies that are otherwise too high for subwoofers but not high enough for mid-range speakers.
How Do I Improve the Mid-bass in My Car?
As I mentioned before, you can improve the Mid-bass in your car’s stereo by adding Mid-bass speakers to it. But that’s not the only way you can do it.
