About 3.2 kHz:
This frequency is responsible for the attack on percussive and rhythm instruments and the "projection" of mid range instruments. On the foot drum, boosting this frequency increases the attack, the beater sound. These frequencies can also be used to increase the attack or "hit" sound on toms and snare drums.
Guitar lines often get more attack and distinction with equalization added at this frequency. A small boost (1-3 dB) for the vocal will increase projection. Adding too much energy, in this range, makes it hard to distinguish the syllables of the vocal and can cause listening fatigue. This range of frequencies is often reduced on background vocal to give them a more "airy" and "transparent" sound. |
