Equalizer

Contents

[edit] types of equalizers

I think that there needs to be some serious editing on the overview. and to move the classifications of an equalizer into other catergories.

here is a suggestion:

The classifications of an equalizer are determined by the method it changes the tone and it's functionality.

tone control methods

shelving
passing
peaking
cut and boost

functionality

sweeping
parametric
graphic
paragraphic

[edit] misc

Could someone please give a technical overview of why nine-band equalizers are better for tweaking speakers than non-multiples-of-three band equalizers? Electrosoccertux 03:10, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

There is nothing magical about a multiple-of-three bad equalizer. Indeed, there is nothing special about nine-band equalizers. Most pros use a graphic eq with at least 30 bands. --Pjvpjv 12:14, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

there are two possible reasons : multiples of three fit more closely with the fact that music is arranged in octaves. or most likely that the internal components are more suited to a multiple of three arrangement.

[edit] history to add

  • something about Baxendall
  • something about George Massenburg [1]

[edit] Merge

I agree to merge with equalization filter.--Lenilucho 19:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I vote to keep the articles seperate. This one should discuss the piece of audio equipment while the other should ultimately be expanded to include an explination of various digital algo's and analog circuits to actually do the work. The other should be linked to in this article. 48v 03:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong Link

the link for high pass links to a Lord of the Rings ArticleTjb891 16:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I fixed it and the rest of the filter's links.--Lenilucho 18:44, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sense

Does "In passing through any channel, data is temporal/frequency spreading occurs. " make sense? --82.25.174.136 19:16, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
