About Parametric Equalizers


When you need to shape your sound, whether it's cutting unnecessary low end from a drum kit, adding sparkle to an acoustic instrument, or enhancing the midrange of a vocal performance, an equalizer is often the right tool for the job. And for the ability to pinpoint specific frequencies, you want a parametric EQ. A parametric equalizer allows you to select the specific frequency you're cutting or boosting and control how "wide" or "narrow" the frequency range you're affecting. You'll have more flexibility over your sound than with a fixed-frequency or graphic EQ.


Parametric EQ Buying Advice


Tube vs. solid-state EQs


Like many types of audio equipment, parametric equalizers generally follow one of two circuit designs: tube and solid-state. While many legendary studio pieces are based around tubes, you can achieve world-class sound quality with solid-state units, too. Keep in mind that equipment with tubes in it can sometimes be more fragile than solid-state components — this is especially important if you're taking your gear on tour or around town. There are also hybrid designs that combine tube and solid-state components, aiming to deliver the best of both worlds.


How many channels?


Consider how you'll be using your equalizer on a regular basis: are you only going to process individual mono tracks, or do you want to be able to EQ a stereo signal, too? If you're shaping single tracks, a 1-channel equalizer is all you technically need. However, most 2-channel EQs will allow you to process two channels separately, in addition to stereo processing. So even if you don't plan on using your EQ for stereo duties, it may make sense for you to get a 2-channel unit: it's like having two individual EQs in one, with the option to use them together for stereo operation when the need arises.


How many bands?


Also consider how much control you want over your sounds: this translates to how many frequency bands your EQ offers. A 2- or 3-band EQ will get most jobs done for simple sound-shaping. But if your applications demand more sonic control, parametric EQs with 4, 5, or even 6 bands allow for greater precision.
