KZ Symphony Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E
  • It feels tonally jarring, swinging between piercing treble and bloated bass with no cohesion. It feels chaotic regardless of genre.

Average Technical Grade

E-
  • Instrument separation collapses instantly, burying nuances and leaving everything in a gray blur. Layered arrangements collapse into a messy haze.
Mids D
Midrange is highly uneven, veering between shouty peaks and hollow dips. Tonality swings between shouty and withdrawn.
Treble E-
Highs sound veiled and distant, draining life from the mix. Hi-hats fade before they start.
Dynamics E-
Dynamics barely flicker, leaving energetic sections strangely subdued. There's no punch to latch onto.
Soundstage E+
Width exists in theory, but the execution is cramped and shallow, robbing the mix of breathing room. Concert recordings lose their venue feel.

Tangzu HBB Xuan NV Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • Expect a patchy tonal profile that makes instrumentation feel mismatched. EQ is almost mandatory to tame the response.

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • Textural information blurs together, making the stage feel pinched and gray. Instrument edges blur together frequently.
Mids C+
Expect a competent midrange that keeps vocals grounded and instruments clear. Tone is acceptable across multiple genres.
Treble C-
Highs are present enough yet carry a bit of grain and splash. Busy mixes can still feel a bit splashy.
Dynamics C+
You get reliable macrodynamics, with micro shifts that remain only adequate. A reliable performer for most tracks.
Soundstage B
A satisfying balance of width and depth yields a stage that feels organized and engaging. Imaging lines up with the intended mix.
