Home Audio Equalizers

Important Questions About Purchasing a Home Stereo Equalizer

If you like the details of how sound works, you understand the importance of versatility in your home entertainment system. A great way to make your movies, TV, or music sound great regardless of their differences is a home stereo equalizer. There are a number of affordable options available when it comes to home audio equalizers on eBay.

A home stereo equalizer can drastically change the sound experience when it comes to watching TV and movies or listening to music. You can use it to shape the sound by increasing or decreasing the volume of certain frequency ranges. Want to brighten your sound? Turn up the high end. Is the sound tinny? Boost the mid-range frequency. Depending on the number of bands on the equalizer, you can have an extreme effect on the sound quality in your home entertainment system.

There are multiple options when it comes to the correct equalizer for your needs. First, you need to decide if you want an analog or a digital model. Some people prefer a vintage analog model because of the sound it produces. On the other hand, digital models are easier to control and provide more options such as saving settings and a graphics screen. If you want a really exact sound, you should try to purchase an equalizer with more bands. Available home stereo equalizers on eBay usually range between 8 bands and 20 bands, but there are some with more than 30 bands.

Many people prefer digital models because of the increased number of features. The following are some of the features you might find on some of the more advanced EQs.

• LED Lights - Some models have lights on the sliders. This makes it easier to see what you are doing when you are adjusting sounds in the dark or when you are using a remote from a distance to control the device.
• Adjustable Signal Level - This feature allows you to boost or cut the signal level from the unit, so you can place it anywhere in the signal chain that you want.
• Multi Channel - This allows you to run multiple sound sources through the device. You can even save specific settings for each signal source on many digital models.
