5Band Dynamic EQ

Semantic type: FiveBandDynamicEQ · Category: eq

Applies level-dependent equalization in five configurable bands.

This type has catalog telemetry metadata but no public observation API in v0.1. See Compatibility.

5Band Dynamic EQ

A smart equalizer that automatically adjusts frequency bands based on the content of your music. It combines precise equalization with dynamic processing that responds to changes in your music in real-time, creating an enhanced listening experience without constant manual adjustments.

Listening Enhancement Guide

  • Tame Harsh Vocals:
    • Use peak filter at 3000Hz with higher ratio (4.0-10.0)
    • Set moderate threshold (-24dB) and fast attack (10ms)
    • Automatically reduces harshness only when vocals get too aggressive
  • Enhance Clarity and Brilliance:
    • Use Band 5 with Filter Type: Highshelf, Frequency: around 10000Hz, SC Freq: around 1200Hz, Ratio: 0.5, Attack: 1ms
    • Mids trigger high frequencies for natural-sounding clarity
    • Adds sparkle to music without permanent brightness
  • Control Excessive Bass:
    • Use lowshelf filter at 100Hz with moderate ratio (2.0-4.0)
    • Keep bass impact while preventing speaker distortion
    • Perfect for bass-heavy music on smaller speakers
  • Adaptive Sound Tailoring:
    • Lets music dynamics control the sound balance
    • Automatically adjusts to different songs and recordings
    • Maintains consistent sound quality across your playlist

Parameters

  • Five Band Controls - Each with independent settings
    • Band 1: 100Hz (Bass Region)
    • Band 2: 300Hz (Lower Midrange)
    • Band 3: 1000Hz (Midrange)
    • Band 4: 3000Hz (Upper Midrange)
    • Band 5: 10000Hz (High Frequencies)
  • Band Settings
    • Filter Type: Choose between Peak, Lowshelf, or Highshelf
    • Frequency: Fine-tune center/corner frequency (20Hz-20kHz)
    • Q: Control bandwidth/sharpness (0.1-10.0)
    • Max Gain: Set maximum gain adjustment (0-24dB)
    • Threshold: Set level when processing begins (-60dB to 0dB)
    • Ratio: Control processing intensity (0.1-100.0)
      • Below 1.0: Expander (enhances when signal exceeds threshold)
      • Above 1.0: Compressor (reduces when signal exceeds threshold)
    • Knee Width: Smooth transition around threshold (0-10dB)
    • Attack: How quickly processing begins (0.1-100ms)
    • Release: How quickly processing ends (1-1000ms)
    • Sidechain Frequency: Detection frequency (20Hz-20kHz)
    • Sidechain Q: Detection bandwidth (0.1-10.0)
