Maxwell 2 User Guide - Equalizer – Audeze Customer Service Center

Maxwell 2 has several on-board audio equalization (EQ) settings, as well as four programmable EQ presets for custom audio equalizations. The Audeze app can be used to select and program presets.

To change EQ presets on-the-fly, press in the headset volume wheel once to enter EQ mode. While in this mode, scrolling the wheel up or down will cycle through the available EQ presets. The wheel will revert to volume control after a few seconds of inactivity.

On-Board EQ Presets

Audeze	This is our default EQ curve. Our engineers tuned Maxwell 2 with this “house sound” in mind, and it brings out the most rounded and well-tuned experience for Maxwell 2.
Treble Boost	This EQ curve is based on one of the most popular audiophile curves, and is going to give a well balanced sound with a slightly boosted treble response.
Bass Boost	This EQ curve applies a bass shelf, and relaxes the upper midrange, for a warm, punchy sound inspired by vintage Audeze headphones.
Immersive	This EQ curve enhances environmental effects, combining increased bass energy for real-world weight with heightened treble detail to highlight spatial and ambient sounds.
Competition	This EQ curve brings forward details in the midrange and lower treble, and lessens bass from explosions and effects that can otherwise overwhlem critical game actions.
Footsteps	This EQ curve is designed to enhance footstep sounds in first-person shooter games, with specific bass and midrange boosts and cuts to highlight them and lessen masking sounds.
