BTE Audio AEQ4: BTE Recreates Late 70s American Console EQ With Algorithm
October 07, 2008
It's algorithms as usual for BTE Audio with the release of the AEQ4 American Console Equalizer Algorithm. This algorithm gives a nod to channel EQ modules found in late 70s American consoles, back when disco was king.
Perhaps you'll find familiarity in the smooth, proportional Q bands, replicating the distinctly musical filters. Using carefully designed topology, BTE Audio digitally recreates the characteristics that are still renowned after 30 years.
Fast Features:
- Extremely High Processing Efficiency.
- Supports sampling frequencies up to 384 kHz.
- Clickless parameter update.
- Proprietary topology which is optimized for low latency, low noise and high dynamic range.
- Supports both 32 bit (single precision) and 64 bit (double precision) floating-point processing.
- Built-in reference-quality upsampling algorithm which can be enabled at sampling frequencies 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz to achieve bell shape symmetry at high frequencies.
- Clearly and concisely implemented in pure C++: portable to any platform that is supported by a C++ compiler.
The AEQ4 algorithm also features a trio of overlapping bands and low and high pass filters. Here's the spec sheet on them:
- High Pass Filter: 12dB per octave slope. Cutoff Frequency is continuously variable from 20 Hz to three kHz.
- Low Pass Filter: 12dB per octave slope. Cutoff Frequency is continuously variable from 200Hz to 20kHz.
- Low Frequency Shelving/Peaking: Selectable filter type: Shelving or Peaking. Center Frequency is continuously variable from 40Hz to 800Hz. The amount of boost or attenuation is continuously variable from -12 dB to 12 dB in Peaking mode and from -16 dB to 16 dB in Shelving mode.
- Mid Frequency Peaking: Center Frequency is continuously variable from 400Hz to 8kHz. The amount of boost or attenuation is continuously variable from -12 dB to 12 dB.
- High Frequency Shelving / Peaking: Selectable filter type: Shelving or Peaking. Center Frequency is continuously variable from 800Hz to 16kHz. The amount of boost or attenuation is continuously variable from -12 dB to 12 dB in Peaking mode and from -16 dB to 16 dB in Shelving mode.
