In January 2009, UNESCO designated Iowa City

2728-475: The graphic equalizer should instead be used to "tune the system to the room", taking account of the combined frequency response of the room and the sound system to ensure that all audible frequencies have equal presence. Some audio equipment manufacturers have accommodated the user by engineering a smiley face curve into a product. dbx, Inc. offers several smiley face curve presets in their digital graphic equalizer product line called DriveRack. Jim Dunlop offers

2790-403: The graphic equalizer was intended to tailor a system's response to compensate for venue and performance conditions, the smiley face curve is sometimes applied as a purely stylistic effect.

3224-508: The relative power of high and low frequencies without increasing the midrange power. In order for a sound system to be heard properly by humans, it should have an equal-loudness contour applied to it when it is performing at low sound pressure levels, then the curve should gradually flatten out as it gets louder. The origin of the smiley face curve has been attributed to the search for more bass and treble response from loudspeakers that did not extend as low or as high as desired, especially in
