Adjust the sound quality in Music on Mac
With the Music equaliser, you can fine-tune specific frequencies of the sound spectrum. You can customise the sound for different genres, rooms in your home, or specific speakers. You can choose from more than 20 presets of the most commonly used equaliser settings, or adjust the settings manually and save your customised settings as a preset that you can use again.
You can also add depth and enliven the quality of your music by adjusting the Sound Enhancer.

In the Music app on your Mac, choose Window > Equaliser.
Do one of the following:

The equaliser’s settings apply to all songs until you change the settings, except for songs that have equaliser presets assigned to them.
