Help me understand Equalizer

They are frequencies.

This makes certain frequencies louder or quieter.

You shouldn't touch it if you want a neutral sound signature.

Those numbers are which frequency range give or take you're making louder or softer. The way the actual equalizer does its job is you can pretend you have a length of string with sliders at certain points. When you move the slider up and down, the string adjusts accordingly and that adjusts the volume of that particular frequency.

 

So for example, if you changed the 250Hz slider, it's also going to affect everything between 125 to 500 to some degree.

 

Most of the time touching the equalizer is to taste. However if you're in a venue with microphones and whatnot, you adjust the frequencies that the mics are picking up from the speakers so that feedback occurs less often.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

Yes basically i know that but what i want to know is that what are those each number represent?

Those numbers are the frequencies that you are going to affect the most. Adjusting the 250Hz slider means you're adjusting 250Hz the most and the other frequencies between 125Hz to 250Hz and 250Hz to 500Hz are adjusted, but not as strongly.

The Hz of the frequency you're boosting.

I.E. the "125" means your either lowering or rising the volume of the frequency around 125Hz.

However, I'm lacking numbers up the Y-axis, since you have no idea how many db you're boosting the frequency with.

Yes...

Do you know how sound works?

Well, everyone here has already explained it. They represent the audio frequency you're manipulating the volume of. 

There's no reason to explain each and every one, since all of them do the same thing just with different frequencies.

?!?!

They are different frequencies of the sound...

Literally the number = frequency.

 

What explanation to you need? 500 is less than 1k and higher than 250?

Wow you really don't know how sound works, do you...

That first table is an overly simplified version for you to understand.

from left to right the frequenty goes from loww (bass) to midd and than to high (tweeters). so from a nice low sounds (left for example the 31) that can be loud and thus shakes your room, car or whatever. to the high annoying ( most right numbers) squeeqy sounds that tear my head apart.

 

Some more info: your ears can hear from 20Hz to 20.000Hz. but if you get older you damage your ears and can hear from 20Hz to maybe for example 13800Hz (thats what i can hear XD, only 17 years old)
