overemphasized frequencies in the midrange and
treble, which may be present in highly com-
pressed music material. Typical examples include
playing MP3 files with a low data rate or listening
to an FM station with unfavourable reception con-
ditions.
This function facilitates a relaxing, pleasant listen-
ing experience for these sources over a long peri-
od.
