An equaliser is the most powerful sound control most headset owners never touch, usually because the sliders look intimidating and a few wild moves make everything worse. It does not have to go that way. The AULA G7 supports a custom EQ through AULA's audio tuning software, and with a slow, methodical approach you can build a setting that suits your ears and your music in one sitting. This guide covers the method, the test material and the mistakes to avoid.

Quick Answer

Connect the AULA G7, open AULA's audio tuning software and adjust the custom EQ in small steps, testing each change on a track or a match you know well. Keep the G7's built-in FPS surround profile for shooters and use your custom EQ for music and films. The G7 costs R299 at Evetech. AULA does not document preset values for the software, so treat the method below as general EQ practice rather than AULA-specific instructions.

🎚️ How an EQ works, in plain terms

An equaliser splits the audible range into bands, from the low rumble of bass up to the airy top end, and lets you raise or lower each one. Raise a band and that part of the sound gets louder relative to the rest; lower it and it steps back.

A rough map helps when you are listening:

  • Low bands: kick drums, bass guitar, the rumble of an engine.
  • Low-mid bands: warmth and body in voices and guitars. Too much sounds muddy.
  • Mid bands: the core of vocals and dialogue. Most of the detail lives here.
  • Upper-mid bands: presence and bite. Too much gets tiring fast.
  • Top bands: cymbals, breath, the sense of space.

You do not need to memorise frequencies. You need to know which direction to move when something sounds wrong.

🔧 A step-by-step tuning session

Before you start

Pick two or three test tracks you know deeply, in genres you actually listen to. Familiar material matters far more than "audiophile" material, because you already know how it should sound. Set your computer's volume to a comfortable, moderate level and leave it there for the whole session. Louder always sounds "better" for a moment, which fools you into boosting everything.

The session

  1. Connect the G7 and open AULA's audio tuning software.
  2. Set the custom EQ flat, with all bands at zero.
  3. Play the opening test track for a minute without touching anything.
  4. Ask one question: what is missing, or what is too much? Pick just one answer.
  5. Move the relevant band a small amount. Small means small: a couple of steps, not half the slider.
  6. Listen to the same passage again for at least a minute.
  7. Repeat with the next issue, then check the change on your second and third tracks.
  8. Save the setting when all three tracks sound right.

Cut before you boost

When something sounds too thin, the instinct is to boost the bass. Often the better move is to lower the upper-mid band slightly instead. Cutting tends to sound cleaner than boosting, and it keeps overall volume under control.

🎮 Keep the FPS profile for shooters

Your custom EQ is for music and films. For shooters, the G7 already has a surround profile AULA tunes for placing footsteps and direction. There is little to gain from recreating that by hand, and a lot to lose if your music setting quietly softens the cues you rely on in a match. Keep two clear roles: the FPS profile when you play, your saved EQ when you listen.

Voice chat sounding strange?

If teammates sound odd after tuning, your EQ may be over-cutting the mid bands where voices sit. Pull the mids back towards zero and listen again. Remember that your EQ only changes what you hear. The G7's 360-degree omnidirectional mic, with AI noise cancelling for your voice, is a separate part of the headset, so tuning playback does not alter what your squad hears from you.

✅ What stays the same after tuning

Tuning changes the balance of the sound, nothing else. The G7 keeps its tri-mode connection, with Bluetooth, 2.4GHz and wired modes, and AULA's quoted 10ms latency on its HyperLink wireless. Its soft RGB ambient lighting, and the mic, are untouched by any EQ change.

This applies to the standard G7 that Evetech lists in black, not the G7 Pro. It carries a 1 Year Local Warranty through Evetech, and it sits in the gaming headsets category if you want to compare how other models handle tuning. The wireless headset collection narrows it to cable-free designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the G7's sound without software?

The G7 has its FPS surround profile built in. For your own settings, the custom EQ lives in AULA's audio tuning software.

How big should each EQ change be?

Small. A couple of steps per band, then listen for a full minute before changing anything else.

What should I test with?

Tracks you know very well, ideally in the genres you actually listen to.

Should my custom EQ replace the FPS profile?

No. Keep the FPS profile for shooters and use the custom EQ for music and films.

Could my EQ make voice chat sound odd?

Yes, if you cut the mid bands heavily. Bring them back towards zero.

What does tuning leave unchanged?

The connections, the 10ms HyperLink wireless figure, the lighting and the mic.
