Parametric vs. Graphic EQ (1 Viewer)

[eryn shannon]

What is the difference between these two types of equalization?

 

[Andy Goldstein]

a graphic eq usually has between 10 and 31 adjustable sliders per channel, each at a particular, fixed frequency. you have control over boost or cut, but no control over Q, or exact frequency.

a parametric eq has just a few controls per channel, but you have complete control over boost (or cut), Q, and center frequency.
