How to Use the Video Equalizer
Short answer: Vista Player includes a 10-band audio equalizer. Play a video, open the audio menu, and select the equalizer. Adjust the frequency band sliders to customize audio output — boost mid-range frequencies for dialogue clarity, or increase low frequencies for richer bass.
What is a 10-Band Equalizer?
A 10-band equalizer divides the audible frequency spectrum into 10 bands. Each band can be independently boosted or cut, allowing you to shape the audio output to your preference. The typical bands are:
- 32 Hz, 64 Hz — Sub-bass and bass
- 125 Hz, 250 Hz — Upper bass
- 500 Hz — Lower midrange
- 1 kHz, 2 kHz — Midrange (human speech)
- 4 kHz, 8 kHz — Upper midrange and presence
- 16 kHz — Brilliance and air
How to Use the Equalizer
- Play a video in Vista Player.
- Open the audio menu during playback.
- Select the equalizer to open the 10-band EQ interface.
- Adjust the frequency band sliders up or down.
- Changes are applied in real-time — you will hear the difference immediately.
