What these presets help with

  • Make footsteps and enemy movement easier to notice.
  • Reduce muddy low-end rumble that hides detail.
  • Improve dialogue, reloads, cloth movement, and positional cues.
  • Create fast starting points for CS2, Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, Warzone, Apex, PUBG, Fortnite, Tarkov, and more.

Quick fixes after applying

  • Distortion: reduce preamp by about -3 to -6 dB.
  • Too sharp: lower the highest-frequency boosts slightly.
  • Too thin: add a small bass bump, around +1 to +3 dB.
  • Too quiet: raise Windows/game volume after setting negative preamp.
