Adjust the sound quality in iTunes on PC
With the iTunes equalizer, you can fine-tune specific frequencies of the sound spectrum. You can customize 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 equalizer settings, or adjust the settings manually and save your customized 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.
Use the iTunes equalizer
In the iTunes app
on your PC, choose View > Show Equalizer.
Do one of the following:
Choose a preset option from the pop-up menu.
Drag the frequency sliders up or down to increase or decrease the volume of a frequency (in decibels).
The equalizer’s settings apply to all songs until you change the settings, except for songs that have equalizer presets assigned to them (see instructions below).
Select On to turn on the equalizer.
