Compensation for the attenuation (signal loss) variation with frequency (attenuation equalization) and propagation time variations with frequency (delay equalization).
The process of boosting or cutting audio signals at a specific frequency or range of frequencies
Shaping the tonal character of a sound by boosting and/or attenuating certain frequencies or frequency ranges.
(EQ) Enhancing the highs (treble) and lows (bass) to give the overall sound the most pleasing effect.
(EQ) modification of audio or video frequencies to create an optimum recording. More specifically, this process involves the attenuation or amplification of selected frequencies within audio or video signals.
(1) Procedure to compensate for fluctuation in circuit amplitude, delay or distortion and to produce a flat frequency response rate. (2) In data communications, a compensation for the increase of attenuation within frequency.
The relative level of various frequency ranges in the audio path, controlled through adjustment of of highs, mid-range and bass.
an industry standard EQ curve that is applied to a signal as it is cut into the surface of the lacquer master, which is processed to become the metal stamper from which vinyl discs are pressed
Equalization is the process to shape the received pulses so as to compensate the effects of amplitude and phase distortions caused by imperfections in the transmission characteristics of the channel. It refers to any signal processing or filtering technique used to reduce ISI.
The technique of adjusting the frequency response of a system to more closely match a desired result.
Changes in amplification at low or high frequencies, done to compensate for the limitations of a recording medium and to obtain equally accurate reproduction at all frequencies.
The process of adjusting the volume of individual frequency ranges within a sound. Equalization can be used to correct problems in a sound, or to “sweeten” or enhance the sound to bring out particular qualities.
A filter used to increase or decrease audio levels at certain frequencies thus altering the overall tonal quality of an audio track. Typical, basic EQs control at least Bass and Treble.
The electronic manipulation of specific frequencies.
The process of raising (boosting) or lowering (attenuating) particular frequency areas (i.e., treble, mid, and bass).
The process of using an equalizer to correct for problems in an audio system. The difficulty is to know what the problem is caused by, and whether it is the kind of problem correctable with an equalizer. Measurements are usually advised.
A means of modifying the frequency response of an amplifier or network, thereby resulting in a flat overall response.
A type of sonic effect that adjusts the TIMBRE of a sound. Common forms of equalization are treble and bass.
The process of adjusting selected ranges of audio frequencies in order to correct or enhance the characteristics of a signal.
A process of compensating for increases in attenuation (signal loss) with frequency. Different frequencies are attenuated differently over a given distance.
Compensation for frequency dependent attenuation in a comunications circuit.
process of altering or filtering sound frequencies to improve their effectiveness. Passing the sound signals through Bass and Treble tone controls or Graphic Equalizers is the most common means of doing this.
Loosely, any type of amplitude vs. frequency modification. Specifically, the process of modifying the frequency distribution of an electrical signal by introducing a controlled non-linearity in the audio chain.
The process of changing the frequency of an electrical signal to alter the acoustical output.
The process of changing the frequency balance of a signal so acoustical energy is proportional to the electrical input (or any type of relative frequency adjustment). also see: AKA: Antonym: Source: http://www.the12volt.com/glossary/glossary.asp
Selective amplification (signal restoration) applied to a signal in order to compensate for high frequency attenuation and other distortions encountered in long lengths of cable.
Changing the frequency response of a given audio signal by adjusting the amplitude of the signal at a particular frequency or range of frequencies to correct for problems introduced by room anomolies.
Sound equalizers alter the power at which certain frequency bands are played. Some songs sound best to certain listeners with high treble; others sound finest with high bass. Equalization settings, while difficult to master, can help you attain the best possible music quality.
Emphasizing specific audio or video frequencies and eliminating others as signal control measure, usually to produce particular sonic qualities. Achieved with equalizer.
Adjusting the tonal quality of a sound to compensate for losses that occur during recording or reproduction or to correct for the acoustic qualities of a listening space.
a circuit that allows the frequency-selective manipulation of a signal's amplitude. The simplest equalizers are shelving types, offering the ability to cut or boost gain above or below a given frequency. Examples include the treble and bass controls found in home stereo systems or guitar amps. More complex circuits that allow tonal shaping in multiple frequency bands include graphic and parametric equalizers. Abbreviated "EQ."
A correction made on playback of tape recordings to restore correct linear frequency balance
boosting or cutting various frequencies in the spectrum of a sound.
The process of correcting losses of certain components in a signal.
The adjustment of the frequency response of an audio signal to obtain a desirable sound. Equalizer: An electronic device for cutting or boosting selected frequencies - simply a sophisticated tone control.
Increasing or decreasing specific audio frequencies to produce particular sonic qualities. Helpful in cutting offending noise such as hum.
Loosely any type of relative frequency adjustment. Specifically, the process of changing the frequency balance of a signal so acoustical energy is proportional to the electrical input.
The introduction of components to an analog circuit by a modem to compensate for signal attenuation and delay distortion. Generally, the higher the transmission rate, the greater the need for equalization.
In audio processing, equalization (EQ) is the process of changing the frequency envelope of a sound. In passing through any channel, temporal/frequency spreading of a signal occurs. Etymologically, it means to correct, or make equal, the frequency response of a signal.
