How to Use the iPod’s Equalizer?

The iPod also has a built-in Equalizer that you can use to improve (improve being a relative term, of course) the music to which you listen. The iPod includes a number of presets designed to enhance specific kinds of music and other audio sources. To use the iPod Equalizer, do the following steps:
The current state of the Equalizer is shown next to its setting on the Settings menu. For example, when the Equalizer is turned off, “Off” will appear next to the EQ setting.

1. Choose Main menu, Settings.
2. Highlight the EQ setting and press the Select button. You’ll see the EQ menu. On this menu, you will see all the presets that are available to you. The list is pretty long, so you will need to scroll down to see all your options. The presets include those designed for specific styles of music, such as Acoustic, Classical, Jazz, and so on, as well as for situations in which you might be using your iPod to play music, such as on Small Speakers.
3. Highlight the preset you want to use and press the Select button. You’ll return to the Settings menu, and the preset you selected will be shown next to the Equalizer setting. When you play music, the Equalizer will adjust the volume levels of various frequencies to enhance certain frequencies and to reduce the levels of others.
