EQ and Filters

Question 1

What are the 4 types of EQ?

Answer 1

Parametric,

Semi-Parametric, Dynamic, Graphic and Shelving

Question 2

What is Parametric EQ?

Answer 2

A parametric EQ offers gain control over any frequency within a range

Question 3

What is Semi-Parametric EQ?

Answer 3

A parametric equaliser without one or more features. Typically the bandwidth Q has a fixed setting.

Question 4

What is Dynamic/graphic Eq?

Answer 4

• Boost or attenuate a range of fixed frequencies
• More band provide higher accuracy
• Not as effective surgery work as parametric
• Graphic EQ generally used to make broad changes

Question 5

What is shelving Eq?

Answer 5

• Most basic type of Eq

- Boost or attenuates frequencies above or below specified cutroff point

Question 6

What is a high-pass (low cut) filter?

Answer 6

Progressively reduces the level or audio frequencies below a specified cutoff frequency

Question 7

What is a low-pass (high cut) filter?

Answer 7

Progressively reduces the level or audio frequencies above a specified cutoff frequency

Question 8

What is cutoff frequency?

Answer 8

Determines which frequencies will pass unaffected and which will be removed

Question 9

The cutoff point of a filter is that at which there is how much gain reduction?

Answer 9

3dB gain reduction

Question 10

What is resonance?

Answer 10

A boost of the amplitude around where the frequency is getting cutoff.
