APPLICATIONS 1. Parametric and Graphic Equalizers Parametric equalizers are extremely useful, versatile tools in both live sound and recording applications. They can enable a wide variety of tasks, from gentle contouring and audio sweetening in the studio, to room equalization and feedback notching in sound reinforcement.
APPLICATION 1. Typical Uses The PEQ-5B allows creative audio processing previously not possible with graphic or less advanced parametric equalizers by enabling the user to set all filter parameters center frequency, bandwidth and amplitude) in five separate bands. These bands cover the entire 20 Hz to 20 KHz audio range and the frequency ranges of the individual bands overlap, allowing two bands to be set to one center frequency for added boost/cut capability.
2. Use in Sound Reinforcement In typical live sound applications, EQ's are used to increase the overall volume or "punch" of the sound (while eliminating feedback), enhance the natural "musicality" of the mix, and improve the intelligibility of speech. Understanding that there are always compromises that must be made, care must be taken so that the overall effect of the equalization is an improvement, not deterioration, of the overall sound.
