Equalizer
Applicability
This description applies to the Mono, Stereo, Surround, and Immersive versions of the Equalizer module.
Overview
Equalizer is a module for adjusting the frequency response of the signal. It provides multiple filter bands that can be used for tonal correction, sound shaping, or compensation.
Processing Principle
Each EQ band applies the selected filter type at the configured frequency, gain, and Q factor. Grouping controls whether channels are adjusted together or independently. The control window of the Equalizer can be switched between Graph View and Grid View. The parameters for filter control are the same.
