Clear
Open sound with high brights and deep bass down to bass woofer level.
Works best for natural recorded music without much editing, movies without many "sound effects" and similar.
Balanced
Open sound with high brights with a more balanced bass response.
Works best for semi-natural recorded music, where "bass enhancements" took place, or heavy compression was used. Works with some movies, if not too much bass effects were used.
Universal
Muted brights, with lower bass response and muted lower mids.
Works best for music which was heavily edited, like Agrotech, EDM, Pop Music, Hip-Hop and Movies with heavy soundeffects, where the bassline would just drown out the details otherwise. In short it's more for an easy listening experience where the sound editors expected bad playback devices.
Load the profile
You can load the profile including the Equalizer settings for version 1 under /profiles/Version 1.
Some filters are intentionally deactivated:

Note: The first equalizer are intentionally empty, it is used to reduce the input volume to roughtly the same amount the second EQ changes it. So it won't blow your ears out to deactivate the (real) second EQ, if you want to compare.
