Equalize your VULKKANO speakers for rock
Listening to rock music properly isn't just a matter of turning up the volume. It's about finding that sweet spot where the guitars crunch with everything, the drums pound, and the singer's voice feels alive.
If you own one of our VULKKANO speakers from the ARC range , or are thinking about purchasing one, you're just a few steps away from taking your experience to the next level. In this post, we'll give you a quick guide to equalizing your speakers , using the A5 ARC model as an example, and getting the most out of them with your favorite tracks.
Why EQ your VULKKANO ARC for rock
Although all our speakers are designed to deliver a balanced sound, rock, as a genre, has a very distinct character. To begin with, it's important to clarify that equalizing isn't correcting; it's fine-tuning . And with that, you can make your speakers sound the way you want and need them.
And in the case of rock, that means highlighting what makes the genre great: the power of the electric guitars, the weight of the bass, the punch of the drums, and the raw energy of the voice.
So, if you have a VULKKANO A5 ARC (or any model in the ARC range), you can start with these recommended settings from the physical bass and treble equalizer located on the back of the speaker. It ranges from -6 dB to +6 dB and allows you to make small changes that make a difference.
Before you start, remember: every room, every ear, and every song is different, so it's best to adjust from here to your liking.
We recommend you start with:
- Bass: between +2 dB and +3 dB
This will give the bass and kick drum more presence without invading other frequencies. Ideal for giving the rhythm strength without making it sound "muddy."
-
Treble: between +1 dB and +2 dB
This touch brings clarity to the vocals, brilliance to the lead guitars, and definition to the cymbals. The result: a more lively and vibrant sound, but without any stridency.
💡Extra tip made in VULKKANO: Use a song you know by heart as a reference. Adjust it as it plays and stick with the point where everything sounds most lively and balanced.

What if I use streaming services?
Some apps like Spotify or Apple Music include equalizers in their settings. If you're listening through them, you can complement the speaker's physical settings with a "Rock" profile or create your own curve. But with the ARC speaker controls, you're already covered for a great, hassle-free experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
If this is your first time equalizing your speakers, here are some quick answers to help you resolve any concerns.
1. Do I have to change the settings every time I listen to a different style?
It's not necessary. These settings are designed to get the most out of rock, but they also work well with related styles like indie, grunge, or hard rock. If you switch to very different genres (electronic, classical, jazz), you can readjust them if you wish.
2. What if I listen from my mobile phone or computer?
Perfect! The VULKKANO ARC speakers work equally well connected via RCA, optical, or Bluetooth . If you use apps like Spotify, Apple Music, or Tidal, some versions include their own equalizer. You can use it in conjunction with the speaker's physical settings, although it's not essential.
3 . Do these settings work for any model in the ARC range?
Yes. The A4 ARC, A5 ARC, and A6 ARC all share the same sonic philosophy. The size changes, the power changes, but the essence remains the same. Use these settings as a starting point and adapt according to the model and your room.
4. Does the listening space influence?
Much more than meets the eye. A very large room or one with many hard surfaces (such as glass or tiles) can cause the sound to disperse or sound brighter. If you notice excessive echo or lack of definition, try adjusting the treble or relocating the speakers slightly.
Equalizing your VULKKANO ARC rock speakers is a simple process, but it can completely transform your listening experience. Whether you're a sound purist or just want to enjoy your favorite music more, physical bass and treble adjustments allow you to add that personal touch that makes all the difference.
Remember, the key is to experiment and tweak to what you like best . There's no one-size-fits-all setup, just the one that makes you enjoy every riff and chord to the fullest. So get to work, tune your VULKKANO ARC, and let your rock sound like never before!
