Italian term

"tonalita'"

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
Si tratta di un apparecchio audio ricevente.
Non riesco a capire il significato della frase "regolare l'audio di ricezione del suono sulla tonalita' preferita", e di conseguenza non riesco a tradurla in inglese. Si riferisce al volume?

Grazie in anticipo.

We are speaking of fields related to sound engineering in which we speak of regulating tones (seperately) and therefore overall tonality. Any device thta lets you equalize tones has seperate freequency regulations.

A definition of tonality does not suit the purpose here, in my opinion.

I am adding the definition of tonality (in music).
"a. A system or an arrangement of seven tones built on a tonic key.
b. The arrangement of all tones and chords of a composition in relation to a tonic."
