The MacOS Spotify app or your Mac's System Preferences don't contain an Equalizer by default. For this, you'll need a third party app so in this case we recommend taking a look in the Mac App Store. Windows: On Windows you'll need to find out if the Audio device you are using has an equalizer you can access. What is an Audio Equalizer? Answer: If if you feel like your audio hardware (headphones, speaker) does not have enough Bass (low frequency) punch, or vice versa, you can adjust that using eqMac.

Having recently switched from iTunes to Spotify for all my music, it baffled me to discover the Mac app doesn’t come with an equalizer. Is no one at Spotify giving a fuck about, you know, sound?

I like using iTunes' equalizer, but that only works in iTunes. I'm looking for some software that lets me apply a global, system-wide equalizer to Mac OS X. The app (or pref pane, etc.) would let me change EQ settings and have that apply to all apps (iTunes, Spotify, Chrome, etc.). Ideally the software would have some nice presets like iTunes does.
EQ for Mac works! Finally a general EQ that works for all sound output for Mac! So Spotify, iTunes, YouTube etc can all now sound better. Would be good if the actual equalizer slider bars were a little.

So, yesterday I searched for a solution that would work with Spotify.

eqMac2 is a free and Open Source equaliser for the Mac. Yep, for the Mac: the app will let you adjust the sound system-wide, not just in Spotify.

Audio Equalizer Mac Os

Once started, it quietly sits in the menu bar.

I’ve just started using it, so there is not much I coudl tell beside the fact that so far it’s wroking well. It comes with a set of pre-defined settings but you can easily create and save your own. Which is neat.

Spotify Equalizer For Mac

The app itself is lightweight and doesn’t seem to be intrusive at all. Kudos to its dev(s).
