Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
A graphic equalizer (GEQ) is a standard tool in audio production and effect design. Adjustable gain control frequencies are fixed along the logarithmic frequency axis, and an automatic design method matches the magnitude response to them whenever target gains are changed. Most commonly, the GEQ comprises a set of peak filters centered an octave apart, possibly with a shelving filter at the bottom and top of the frequency range. While accurate designs were proposed, the dynamic range is typically limited to 24 dB. In this paper, we propose two innovations. First, we introduce a GEQ based on shelving filters only, which can cover an extensive dynamic range of over 60 dB. Secondly, we introduce an order-switching technique that combines shelf filters of different order. We demonstrate the performance and advantages of the proposed filter with design examples. The proposed shelf-filter-based GEQ offers a wider dynamic range and a smoother magnitude response than traditional peak-filter-based GEQ designs.
