Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

B-
  • The tuning leans easygoing, yet occasional unevenness nudges it away from greatness. A bit of EQ polish can smooth things nicely.

Average Technical Grade

A-
  • It manages detail and layering well enough, even if the stage feels only moderately sized. You get a clear sense of left and right, if not depth.
Mids C+
It presents a stable midrange foundation suitable for everyday listening. Clarity is serviceable without standing out.
Treble C+
Treble feels agreeable overall, bringing sparkle without significant fatigue. You get a polite sense of air.
Dynamics C+
You get reliable macrodynamics, with micro shifts that remain only adequate. A reliable performer for most tracks.
Soundstage A-
You hear both the breadth and the altitude of the mix, anchored by accurate positional cues. Immersion improves across genres.
Gaming B+
Respectable environmental presentation favors atmosphere over precision. Detects obvious directional cues while conveying game world ambiance.
