The equalizers are implemented using cascaded “direct form 1” BQs structures as shown in Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4 Cascaded BQ StructureAll BQ coefficients are normalized with a0 to insure that B0 is equal to 1. The structure requires 5 BQ coefficients as shown in Table 3-1.
| BQ COEFFICIENT | COEFFICIENT CALCULATION |
|---|---|
| B0_DSP | b0 / a0 |
| B1_DSP | b1 / (a0 × 2) |
| B2_DSP | b2 / a0 |
| A1_DSP | –a1 / (a0 × 2) |
| A2_DSP | –a2 / a0 |
The Equalizer Tuning Window shown below in Figure 3-5 contains 14 independent filters for both left and right channels. They are designed for tuning the frequency response of the overall system. This is where the bulk of the frequency compensation occurs. Complex tuning shapes can be made to compensate for deficiencies in speaker response.
Figure 3-5 Equalizer Tuning
WindowAs Figure 3-5 shows, each filter has quite a few different filter types and can be turned on or off independently. All the changes to these filters are reflected in the plot above. The composite plot (red) shows the overall frequency response alteration applied to the incoming digital audio data.
The equalizers for left and right channels are ganged by default, but they can be configured independently by deselecting “Gang” option.
