  2. Smiley face curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley_face_curve

    An idealized and extreme smiley face curve shown using a 29-band graphic equalizer. A smiley face curve or mid scoop [1] in audio signal processing is a target frequency response curve characterized by boosted low and high frequencies coupled with reduced midrange frequency power.

  3. Audio time stretching and pitch scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_time_stretching_and...

    The simplest way to change the duration or pitch of an audio recording is to change the playback speed. For a digital audio recording, this can be accomplished through sample rate conversion. When using this method, the frequencies in the recording are always scaled at the same ratio as the speed, transposing its perceived pitch up or down in ...

  4. Equalization (audio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_(audio)

    Equalization, or simply EQ, in sound recording and reproduction is the process of adjusting the volume of different frequency bands within an audio signal. The circuit or equipment used to achieve this is called an equalizer. [1] [2] Most hi-fi equipment uses relatively simple filters to make bass and treble adjustments. Graphic and parametric ...

  5. RIAA equalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_equalization

    For example, the RIAA pre-emphasis in the popular Neumann SAB 74B equalizer applies a second-order roll off at 49.9 kHz, implemented by a Butterworth (maximally flat) active filter, plus an additional pole at 482 kHz. [2] This cannot be compensated for by a simple zero even if it were necessary, and in any case, other amplifiers will differ.

  6. Tuner (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuner_(radio)

    Marantz 2050L AM/FM stereo tuner (USA; 1978-1980) [1]. In electronics and radio, a tuner is a type of receiver subsystem that receives RF transmissions, such as AM or FM broadcasts, and converts the selected carrier frequency into a form suitable for further processing or output, such as to an amplifier or loudspeaker.

  7. Ear clearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear_clearing

    Diver clearing ears Section of the human ear, the Eustachian tube is shown in colour. Ear clearing, clearing the ears or equalization is any of various maneuvers to equalize the pressure in the middle ear with the outside pressure, by letting air enter along the Eustachian tubes, as this does not always happen automatically when the pressure in the middle ear is lower than the outside pressure.

  8. Pitch correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_correction

    Pitch correction is an electronic effects unit or audio software that changes the intonation (highness or lowness in pitch) of an audio signal so that all pitches will be notes from the equally tempered system (i.e., like the pitches on a piano).

  9. Equal-loudness contour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-loudness_contour

    The first research on the topic of how the ear hears different frequencies at different levels was conducted by Fletcher and Munson in 1933. Until recently, it was common to see the term Fletcher–Munson used to refer to equal-loudness contours generally, even though a re-determination was carried out by Robinson and Dadson in 1956, which became the basis for an ISO 226 standard.
