Application Notes

Symmetrical Q

This class of equaliser has the same curves in boost as the constant-Q type, but then has cut responses that are symmetrical with the boost ones. In other words, the bandwidth in cut is defined not according to our usual definition of Q (see constant-Q above) but as “the point were the signal is cut by 3dB less than the maximum cut”. Most equalisers described by their manufacturers as “Constant Q” in fact produce symmetrical responses.
