Equalizer Types and Applications Guide

Graphic and parametric equalizers are used to adjust the balance of frequency components in an electronic signal. A graphic equalizer provides boosts and cuts at specific frequency bands using fixed-bandwidth filters adjusted by slide pots. It has many narrow bands ranging from 27-31 bands. A parametric equalizer can adjust frequency, bandwidth, and gain digitally and is used to reverse distortions and reduce interference in transmitted signals. Equalizers are used to provide high quality volume control, correct speaker and microphone frequency response, implement active crossovers, and adjust bass and treble without artifacts.

EQUALIZER

Presented by
Vikas

Yadav

Definition:

Equalization is the process of adjusting the


balance between frequency component
within electronic signal
The circuit or equipment used for
equalization is called as an Equalizer
These devices boosts or cut the energy of
specific frequency band

Types of Equalizer:

there are two types of Equalizer


I.

II.

III.

IV.

Graphic Equalizer
Parametric Equalizer
Viterbi Equalizer
Turbo Equalizer

G raphic Equalizer:

The function of graphic equalizer is to


provide boost and cut at the bass and
treble extremes , as well as within the
intermediate frequency
The Equalizer is implemented with the
arrays of narrow band filters whose
individual response are adjusted by
vertical slide pots arranged side by
side
as to provide a graphic visualization
of the equalized response due to this

Advantages:

Fixed center frequency

Fixed bandwidth

Adjustable boost/cut(+/-10 to 15 dB)

Many bands (in the range between


27-31)

Technologies:Following are the techologies used in designing


of the Graphic Equalizer
Variable-Q: Bandwidth varies as a function of
boost/cut
Constant-Q: Bandwidth varies much
less then above
True response:Bandwidth does not vary with
boost/cut

Param etric equalizer:

It attempts to reverse the distortion


increased by a signal transmitted
through channel
It reduces inter symbol interference to
allow recovery of the transmit
symbols and improve receiver
performance
The efficiency of siso signal
processing algorithms and iterative

Advantages:

Adjustable frequency
Adjustable bandwidth
Analog: few band (3 to 6)
Digital : many bands (in the range
between 10 to 20 or infinite in case of
arbitary magnitude design )

Microcontroller/microprocessor based:

In this equalizer the gain can be done


through programming
It is available in monolithic IC package
According to user requirement
modification can be done in this
equalizers

Features:

Real time analyzer and signal sources

Dynamic range better than 108 dB

Sample rates from 32 kHz to 96 kHz

Operates with single +3.3V power supply and


low power standby

Applications:

To provide a high quality digital


system control for volume
To perform parametric equalization to
correct the frequency response of
loudspeaker or microphone
To implement an active crossover for
multi-way loudspeaker system
To adjust the bass and treble control
throughput without experiencing any
pops, clicks and artifacts
