| Definitions/Explanations: |
| Equalization is the increase or decrease of
signal strength for a portion of (a band of) audio frequencies. The audio we record
(the sound made by instruments or voices) is complex. By this we mean that
it is composed of energy at different audio frequencies. If we take a bass control
(a simple equalizer) and turn the knob clockwise, we will get an increase in strength of
the signal (or the signal component) that has lower frequencies (usually any component
below about 500 Hz). Thus equalization effects the tone because it changes the level
relationship of the fundamental
and harmonic frequencies. |
