EQUALIZER

A device used to adjust the balance

of frequency components within an
electronic signal
A device which utilizes the
principle of filters

COMPRESSOR

EQUALIZATION
-

A process by which the frequency

response of an audio system is
altered through the use of linear
filters, which is actuated through
knobs or switches

Shelving Filter used to boost

or attenuate signals above or
below a certain frequency
Band Pass Filters a filter that
allows only a certain range to
pass
Parametric
Equalizer

a
selective type of equalizer which
is
capable
of
setting
its
operational setup
Parametric Triple Q Filter
a variation of the Parametric
Equalizer; used to improve the
intelligibility of a speech signal
Graphic Equalizer makes use
of filter banks which allows the
user to filter out only selected
bands
RESONANT
ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK

The phenomenon where a sound

loop exists between an audio input
and audio output
TIME DELAY

The lag or the lateness of a

signal that has been transmitted
from a source

A device that attenuates spurious

and loud sounds by narrowing the
audio signals dynamic range

LIMITER
-

TYPES OF EQUALIZERS

It is important in the propagation

of sound in order to provide visual
and audial synchronization

A device which effectively limits

the amount spurious power by
utilizing a threshold value, such
that when the power reaches the
threshold value, the power will be
prevented from increasing more
AUTOMATIC VOLUME CONTROL

A system which automatically

adjusts the gain of the audio signal
to provide maximum intelligibility
and to compensate for the noises
that occur
