Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E
  • It feels tonally jarring, swinging between piercing treble and bloated bass with no cohesion. It feels chaotic regardless of genre.

Average Technical Grade

E+
  • Everything sounds flat and suffocated, with even elementary passages losing definition and energy. Expect little in the way of micro-details.
Bass D
Expect a restrained low end that prioritizes cleanliness over excitement. Impact comes across soft and restrained.
Mids E-
Everything in the mid band sounds muted, as if it’s playing from another room. Songs feel like they're missing their core.
Treble E-
The top end feels muffled, with air and shimmer barely audible. Ambient reverb tails are chopped short.
Dynamics E+
Dynamic range feels limited, smearing micro-contrast and transient attack. Soft details are smoothed into the background.
Details E+
Noticeably blurred presentation that smears background elements and hides micro-details. Ambient cues are fuzzy and distant.
Imaging D
Stereo cues appear but wobble, leaving the panorama feeling imprecise. Center image lacks solidity.
Gaming E+
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
