Equalizer (EQ)
The equalizer boosts or cuts the levels of specified frequencies. The EQ group contains graphic
equalizers (GEQ) and parametric equalizers (PEQ).
The frequency bands in the graphic equalizer are fixed. The graphical interface lets you visually check
the gain of each frequency. There are three different types of equalizers, each with a different number
of frequency bands. Mono channel and stereo channel equalizers are available for each type.
With the parametric equalizer, you can freely adjust the frequency bands, their amplitudes, and
bandwidths. There are six different types of parametric equalizers, each with a different number of
frequency bands. Mono channel and stereo channel equalizers are available for each type.
Graphic Equalizer (GEQ)
Boosts or cuts signals within the specified frequencies. The mono group contains 7 band, 15 band,
and 31 band mono channel components. The stereo group contains 7 band, 15 band, and 31 band
stereo channel components.
Mono channel GEQs have one input and one output each. Stereo channel GEQs have two inputs and
two outputs each.
Double-click a component to display the component editor for it. The number of bands varies
depending on the component, but all share a common configuration in the component editor.
