Impact Of Personalized Equalization Curves On Music Quality In Dichotic Listening
This paper investigated the impact of personalized equalization (EQ) on music quality. A pair of personalized EQ curves was found for each listener in a double-reference psychoacoustic test. Original high-fidelity music and music equalized by the pair of personalized EQ curves were randomly presented to listeners who were instructed to rate music quality. Statistical analysis showed that personally equalized music provided significantly higher music quality than original music.
