What frequency is it?

Here is a quick table to show what you are hearing at what frequency.

Loudspeaker	Frequency Range	Effect
Hades	20 Hz - 50 Hz	Trouser Wobbling
Zeus 4 Hera Panda 18	50 Hz - 180 Hz	Punch
Piglet 212 Gecko 15m Koala 12m	180 Hz - 5 kHz	Midrange and Vocals

This means it does not have anything below 50 Hz or above 15 kHz. If you have good hearing you should be hear from 20 Hz right up to 20 kHz.
