A sound or track where the fundamental frequencies are weak, relative to the harmonics. If the fundamental frequencies of an instrument are high, around 300 to 800 Hz for example, and the monitor system has a dip in the 400 Hz area, the instrument may sound thin, even though the monitor system is stronger in the lower range (below 200 Hz) of the frequency spectrum.
