How to Describe Sound Quality (Audiophile 101)

The illustration below (source unknown) provides some pointers on how to be more exact with your audiophile jargon.

As a very course mnemonic, you can use the three decades of the audio spectrum to define bass/midrange/treble:

  • Bass:  20-200 hz
  • Mids:  200-2K hz
  • Treble:  2K-20K hz

Enjoy,
