Too much boost anywhere between 1 to 4 kHz can produce "listening fatigue". Accentuation of percussion, cymbals and snare drum. Reduction at 5 kHz makes overall sound more distant and transparent. Reduction of tape hiss and system noise. The 1.25 to 8 kHz governs clarity and definition. Cymbals and overall brightness. Too much boost causes sibilance.

Important for speech intelligibility. Too much boost between 2 and 4 kHz can mask certain speech sounds e.g. "m", "b", and "v" can become indistinguishable. Too much boost anywhere between 1 and 4 kHz can produce "listening fatigue". Vocals can be highlighted by slightly boosting the vocal at 3 kHz and at the same time slightly dipping the instruments at the same frequency. Accentuation of voice. The range from 1.25 to 8 kHz governs the clarity of voice. Too much boost causes sibilance.
