What do you know about the 3 main frequency bands in sound?

As everyone knows, when talking about audio equipment, people will immediately think of frequency bands in sound such as Bass, Mid, Treble, which are words used to indicate bass, mid or high tones. If you want to enter the audio field, you need to learn more about these audio frequencies. Let’s find out more about the 3 main frequency bands in sound with Mantis?

Concept of audio frequency range

You can simply understand that the audio frequency suitable for everyone’s headphones is in the mechanical frequency range, from 20Hz – 20KHz, which is the number of oscillations 20 times – 20 thousand times / second. To understand better, we divide the frequency range into 3 basic frequencies: Bass, Mid, Treble. The nature of sound is mechanical oscillation waves and one of the most basic units of sound is frequency.

BASS bass

The Bass frequency range is divided into:

Low bass (Deep bass): ~ 20Hz – 80Hz
Bass: ~ 80Hz – 320Hz
Upper bass (High bass): ~ 320Hz – 500Hz

This is the frequency range that is often most misjudged in sound. Many listeners often confuse the difference between “depth” and “intensity” of Bass. Headphones with good Bass will be able to express very low frequencies with very deep bass, even at not too loud volume levels, without rumbling.

The bass is the backbone of the musical melody. However, it is also very difficult for you to reproduce the perfect sound in this frequency range most accurately, because it also depends on many different factors: room space, amplifier, speaker or transmission signal.
MID (midrange)

Mid is the most common frequency range that you hear every day such as human voices, the cries of many animals or sounds in daily life, so your ears are often very sensitive and seem to perceive most accurately at this frequency range. A good Mid sound is considered clear, highly detailed, not harsh and makes the listener feel more comfortable.

The Mid frequency range is divided into:

Low mid: 500Hz ~ 1kHz
Mid: 1kHz ~ 2kHz
High mid: 2kHz ~ 6kHz

To evaluate whether a sound system specializing in singing or performing music and karaoke is good or not, the Mid sound will solve all those problems more easily.
TREBLE high sound

This is a sound with a frequency range spanning from 6KHz – 20KHz, treble contributes to increasing the detail, freshness, and sharpness of every sound we hear in life. Treble is considered good when it is not too sharp or harsh …

Treble is considered the foundation in creating good sound quality, a unique highlight for the music. If bass is the leader, mid is harmonious, then both sounds will be the background for treble to perform and reveal its ability. This is quite important, when many devices are considered high-end but are still considered normal because treble’s performance is not too excellent.

In daily life, all sounds are a combination, a blend of these 3 sound frequency ranges, not located at a certain frequency. All three of these frequency bands need to blend together in any case to create richness in each sound quality. Therefore, the use of audio equipment requires experience as well as understanding so as not to overwhelm or overshadow any frequency band.

Above are our shares about the three basic frequency bands in karaoke, hoping that this will be the knowledge to support you in many of the issues you are still wondering about. Besides, this is also very useful for you in choosing a portable speaker to suit the music genre you love the most.
