eqMac

So, let’s talk about eqMac. This app is one of the few missing pieces for macOS users who want a system-wide audio equalizer. While there are some options out there, not many are free and can really give you control over the audio output on your Mac. Whether it’s for your speakers, headphones, or line-out devices, eqMac has got you covered!

Features of eqMac

This app ticks all the boxes when it comes to what you’d want in an audio equalizer. First off, it works across your entire system. That means it controls the sound from all apps running on your Mac. Plus, switching between different audio output devices is super easy!

Supported Devices

eqMac supports a bunch of devices too! It works with built-in speakers, 3.5 mm line-out devices, and any Bluetooth, AirPlay, USB, or HDMI gadgets you might be using.

Easy Installation Process

When you first launch eqMac, it will ask for your system password to install its audio driver. You might need to change some settings in Security & Privacy if you've only allowed apps from the App Store and identified developers.

Status Bar Menu

After installing the app and driver, eqMac adds a handy status bar menu for quick access to its features. From there, you can easily tweak either the 10-band or 31-band equalizer settings and adjust volume or balance using two simple sliders.

Saving Your Settings

You can save any custom equalizer profiles by clicking on a floppy disk icon in the profile drop-down menu. If there are profiles you no longer need, just hit that trash icon next to them!

Default Presets Available

The app also comes with default presets that are ready to use! Just check “Show Default Presets” under “Check for Updates” to see them.

Smooth Performance

I have to say; eqMac performed like a champ during testing! It uses minimal resources on our machines—only around 2-5% of a processor core while listening from multiple sources and up to 50 MB of RAM at full load.

Your Go-To Audio Tool

To sum it up, eqMac is an essential tool for any Mac user looking to enhance their listening experience with easy-to-adjust system-wide audio equalizers. If you're interested in downloading this great tool, check out eqMac here!
