DIGITAL EQUALIZER

PROJECT BROCHURE:
AIM
The equalizer aims at the suppression or selection of a particular band
of frequency.
DESCRIPTION
The audio signal consists of many instruments played at a time. Each instruments
generate a specific band of frequencies. The user may wish to hear audio of a particular
instrument or to avoid a particular instrument. The particular band of frequencies can be
supressed to hear audio of all the instruments other than the specific instrument. This can
be implemented by converting the time domain audio signal into frequency domain audio
signal. In frequency domain, each value represents the energy of the instrument in that
audio signal. The particular band is received as the input from the user and it is
suppressed in the frequency domain. Then the frequency domain signal is converted into
time domain signal, which gives the audio signal with a particular band suppressed.
