Room Equalization
Before making adjustments with your processor, a basic understanding of parametric and graphic equalization is needed.
Parametric filters allow you to control the three primary parameters of a useful band-pass filter. These parameters
are
amplitude
(boost or cut),
center frequency
(pitch) and
bandwidth
(tonal range). Bandwidth is typically labeled "Q" on the
unit, which stands for
Q factor
. The amplitude of each band can be controlled, and the center frequency can be shifted, and
widened or narrowed.
Simpler graphic filters are fixed in frequency and bandwidth, so the music spectrum is divided into uniform third-octave spac-
ings.
