EQ Studio Multi-mode equalizer with AutoEQ, M/S processing & room correction

Legacy EQ - Graphic Equalizer

Set the number of bands (3-32) and frequency range (Min/Max Hz) at the top to customize the equalizer layout.
Drag the sliders to boost or cut each frequency band. Bands are spaced logarithmically across your range.
Pick a preset (Bass Boost, Rock, Vocal, etc.) as a starting point - presets auto-scale to your band count.
Adjust the preamp slider to raise or lower the overall level - reduce it if you hear distortion from large boosts.
Save your own custom presets with a name so you can recall them later.
Export saves the EQ in EqualizerAPO text format. Export APO saves a GraphicEQ config line you can paste directly into Equalizer APO's config.txt.
Import loads EQ settings from EqualizerAPO text files or simple frequency/gain CSV files - points are mapped to your current bands automatically.
Click Reset to flatten all bands back to 0 dB.

Tip: Cut problem frequencies rather than boosting others - it sounds cleaner and avoids clipping.

AutoEQ - Headphone Correction

Select your headphone from the dropdown or search the database below.
Pick a target curve - Harman is the most popular. You can also import a custom target.
Adjust filter bands (more = finer correction, 10 is a good default).
Click AutoEQ - the algorithm generates parametric filters that shape your headphone's response toward the target.
The pink corrected curve on the graph shows the predicted result.
Drag nodes to adjust frequency and gain. Scroll on a node to adjust Q (bandwidth).
Right-click a node to change its filter type (Peaking, Low Shelf, High Shelf) or channel mode (Stereo, Mid, Side).
Right-click empty space or double-click to add a node. Double-click a node to remove it.
Save the profile so you can switch between headphones instantly.

Tip: Use "Auto Preamp Compensation" to prevent clipping from positive EQ gains.

Parametric EQ - Manual Control

Each band supports Peaking, Low Shelf, and High Shelf filter types with frequency, gain, and Q (bandwidth).
Drag nodes on the graph to adjust frequency and gain. Scroll on a node to adjust Q.
Right-click a node to change its filter type or set its channel mode to Stereo, Mid, or Side.
Right-click empty space or double-click to add a node at that position. Double-click a node to delete it.
Use + Add Band / - Remove Band to change the number of filters.
Import/Export settings in EqualizerAPO format for use in other apps.
Save profiles with custom names to keep your favorite EQ curves.

Tip: Lower Q = wider curve, higher Q = narrower surgical cut.

Mid/Side tips: Set a band to Mid to EQ only the center image (vocals, bass, kick). Set it to Side to EQ only the stereo width (reverb, ambience, panned instruments). Try cutting low-end on Side below 200 Hz for tighter, mono-compatible bass - or boost presence on Mid around 2-5 kHz to bring vocals forward without touching the sides.

Speaker EQ - Room Correction

Select your speaker config (2.0, 5.1, or 7.1).
Click a channel tab (FL, FR, etc.) to work on one speaker at a time.
Measure: click the mic button - pink noise plays for 5 seconds while your microphone captures the room response. Or import a measurement file from REW or similar.
Pick a target - Harman In-Room is recommended for speakers.
Set Bass Limit (don't EQ below this) and Room Limit (don't EQ above this) - the colored lines on the graph show the active range.
Click AutoEQ to generate correction filters for that channel.
Drag nodes to fine-tune. Scroll on a node to adjust Q. Right-click a node to change type or channel mode.
Right-click empty space or double-click to add a node. Double-click a node to remove it.
Repeat for each channel, then Export JSON with all channels.

Tip: Place your mic at the listening position. Measure each speaker separately for best results.
