From media-assistant-ops
Apply a recommended parametric-EQ DSP preset tuned for spoken-word / podcast listening to a Music Assistant player. Tames sub-bass rumble, lifts vocal presence (1–4 kHz), and softens sibilance (~6–8 kHz). Use when the user wants a one-shot "make this speaker good for podcasts" action — typically a kitchen, bathroom, or office speaker — without hand-rolling EQ bands.

Six peaking/shelf bands plus a small preamp trim. Tuned for full-range speakers; a separate variant is provided for small/desktop speakers.
podcast-default| # | Type | Freq (Hz) | Gain (dB) | Q | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | high_pass | 70 | — | 0.7 | Roll off sub-bass rumble / room noise |
| 2 | peaking | 200 | -3.0 | 1.0 | Cut "muddy" lower-mids |
| 3 | peaking | 500 | -1.5 | 1.2 | Reduce boxy midrange |
| 4 | peaking | 2500 | +3.0 | 1.0 | Lift vocal intelligibility |
| 5 | peaking | 4000 | +2.0 | 1.4 | Add presence / clarity |
| 6 | peaking | 7000 | -2.5 | 3.0 | Tame sibilance / harshness |
Preamp: -2.0 dB (compensate for the +3 dB peaks so output stays clean).
podcast-small-speakerFor desktop / smart-speaker grade hardware that lacks low-end. Drops the high-pass and the 200 Hz cut (already missing on the speaker).
| # | Type | Freq (Hz) | Gain (dB) | Q |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | peaking | 2500 | +3.5 | 1.0 |
| 2 | peaking | 4000 | +2.5 | 1.4 |
| 3 | peaking | 7000 | -2.0 | 3.0 |
Preamp: -2.0 dB.
Load config per the reference skill. Resolve the target player (by name or ID).
Ask which variant to apply if the user didn't specify. Default to podcast-default.
Stash the player's current DSP first (so the user can revert):
$DATA_ROOT/state/last-dsp-<player-slug>.json
Use the config/players/get command (or the matching REST endpoint) to fetch the current player_config, extract its dsp block, and save the whole player_config payload alongside.
Build the DSP payload. Authoritative shape (per Music Assistant docs — see reference skill):
{
"enabled": true,
"preamp_gain_db": -2.0,
"per_channel": false,
"bands": [
{"type": "high_pass", "frequency": 70, "q": 0.7, "enabled": true},
{"type": "peaking", "frequency": 200, "gain_db": -3.0, "q": 1.0, "enabled": true},
{"type": "peaking", "frequency": 500, "gain_db": -1.5, "q": 1.2, "enabled": true},

{"type": "peaking", "frequency": 7000, "gain_db": -2.5, "q": 3.0, "enabled": true}
]
}
Supported filter type values (verbatim from MA docs): peaking (a.k.a. Peak/Bell), high_shelf, low_shelf, high_pass, low_pass, notch, all_pass. Not supported: Modal, BP, LSC x dB, HS x dB, AP, LS with dB slope, HS with dB slope.
Apply via the config/players/save command (WebSocket) or the equivalent PUT /api/config/players/<player_id> endpoint, merging the new dsp block into the existing player_config.
Verify by re-fetching the player_config and confirming the DSP block matches what was sent. Print a one-line confirmation: living-room: applied podcast-default (6 bands, preamp -2 dB).
Tell the user how to revert: Run /media-assistant-ops:update-dsp-settings and choose "revert last change" — or restore from $DATA_ROOT/state/last-dsp-<player-slug>.json.
Offer to also save this as a named DSP preset for the player (delegate to save-dsp-settings) so it shows up in their preset library.
If the user asks for variations:
low_shelf at 120 Hz +2 dB.peaking at 9 kHz, -2 dB, Q 2.0.per_channel: false. For stereo desk monitors, set per_channel: true and apply identical bands to both channels by default.dsp key, tell the user this player doesn't support MA-side DSP and suggest applying EQ at the device.
