The applications of these designs a

The applications of these designs are vast, with equalization being relevant to any situation where it may be of benefit to shape a spectrum. Of note, loudspeaker, room and headphone equalization are common, but equalizers have uses throughout the music recording, production and playback chain. A particularly relevant application in today’s busy world is the noise-based equalization, which can enhance the audibility of music in high ambient noise. Finally, Section 7 considered new and emerging approaches to equalization. It focused on more relevant and intuitive interfaces, often based on machine learning, and on autonomous and intelligent audio equalization systems that attemptto automate aspects of their use. This area is still in its infancy, and might see great advances with improved knowledge of the semantics and perceptual aspects of equalization.
