Overview

ST graphic EQ

Discussion

The Graphical equalizer (GrEq) module is in charge of fine tuning the sound spectrum according to user personal preferences. This is done by modifying gain factors at fixed frequencies represented by sliders. The number of bands is determined at the initialization phase and can be 5, 8 or 10. The gain factors are adjustable from -12 dB to +12 dB in standard mode. Implementation uses 32 bits resolution for all computations, and can be used with 32 bits input/output format at a sampling frequency of 48 kHz. GrEq module supports stereo interleaved 32 bits I/O data, with a minimum input frame size of 96 and a maximum input frame size of 480 stereo samples. This limitation corresponds to 10ms scheduling at 48 kHz sampling frequency.

GrEq library is configured with 6 gain presets. When the user selects one preset, the gains in the user_gain_per_band_dB[] table are discarded .

0 : no preset, use the gains in the user_gain_per_band_dB[]
1 : Pop
2 : Jazz
3 : Rock
4 : Vocal
5 : Classical
6 : HipHop
