“Loudness” option - equal loudness curves based EQ for low level listening.

[Matt_Holland]

Maybe this could tie in with the upcoming room EQ feature because the feature will obtain an approximate SPL of the speaker system for a given device volume setting. Therefore a set of Fletcher Munson equal loudness contours could be applied as an EQ based on the device volume being at certain levels.

Such a feature would massively elevate low volume level listening by adapting the system frequency response to the natural changing efficiency of the human hearing system as volume level changes.

There’s graphic eq that say loudness. I prefer dynamic loudness that if you increase volume loudness decreases.

It looks like the setting is a Fletcher-Munson curve for a fairly high volume level.

The cross over volume procent could be configurable. Let each user defined below what volume a (fixed) Loudness EQ should be applied.

@WiiM Team Is this in the pipeline?

If they dont answer there’s no hope.

SMSL company has a very cool EQ called SDB. Something like "loudness" but not exactly the same thing. It's like dynamic loudness with some of their patented solutions.

"SDB sound patented by S.M.S.L improves sound fidelity - not only the bass, but also the dynamics of the bass and treble depending on the sound source."

When I listen to music very quietly, the best EQ for me is "acoustic", but I feel that such a dynamic loudness, well-made, which also adapts to the volume level set, could do a good job.

I liked this SMSL SDB when I had their gear in the past
