By far
the
most
versatile equalizer
is the
parametric
type
such
as
the
MlcRo
EQ.
While the
graphic
EQ always
has a
bandwidth
that
is
fixed, the
parametric
allows
for the bandwidth
to be
varied.
This
means that
far
fewer equalizer
sections
are
required
for
either
tonal shaping
or
feedback
suppression
since
the
offending
frequencies
can
be dialed
in
precisely.
Although
many
parametric
equalizers
have a continuously
variable
bandwidth,
it has been
found that
a switchable
bandwidth
from
wide to
narrow
is not only
sutficient
but
far
easier
and
faster
to
use.
Hence,
the
MICRO
EQ
is
designed
with
a bandwidth
control
switchable
lrom
2
octave
(wide)
to
llzoctave
(narrow),
and
thus
is
referred
to as semi'
parametric.
