Full-range speakers are designed to reproduce the entire audible frequency spectrum, making them suitable for home audio systems.

Subwoofers are specifically designed to reproduce low frequencies, extending the overall frequency response of an audio system.

Absorption is a room acoustic treatment that involves the use of materials that absorb sound energy, reducing reverberation and improving clarity.

Equalization is used to adjust the frequency response of an audio signal, allowing engineers to enhance specific frequency ranges to achieve the desired sound.

Shelving EQ allows engineers to adjust the gain of a specific frequency range, making it useful for reducing harshness in the high frequencies.

Car stereo systems often have limited low-frequency response, so engineers typically emphasize low frequencies when mixing audio for these systems.

Diffusion is a room acoustic treatment that involves the use of materials that scatter sound energy, reducing the buildup of standing waves.

Reference tracks are used to compare the mix to a professionally mixed track, allowing engineers to identify areas where improvements can be made.

Parametric EQ allows engineers to adjust the gain and frequency of a specific band, making it useful for boosting the clarity of vocals.

Club sound systems often have powerful subwoofers, so engineers need to carefully balance the low frequencies to avoid overpowering the mix.

Diffusion is a room acoustic treatment that involves the use of materials that scatter sound energy, reducing the buildup of flutter echo.

Limiters are used in mastering to prevent distortion by limiting the peak level of the audio signal.

Parametric EQ allows engineers to adjust the gain and frequency of a specific band, making it useful for reducing muddiness in the low frequencies.

Headphones provide a more intimate listening experience, so engineers need to focus on creating a natural and balanced sound when mixing for this environment.

Absorption is a room acoustic treatment that involves the use of materials that absorb sound energy, reducing the overall reverberation time.
