Waves GEQ Graphic Equalizer
GEQ has what you want from a graphic equalizer—30 precise ISO bands, with stereo/mono link. What you don’t expect is a choice of classic or modern filter topologies, a dual-input real-time analyzer, high and lowpass filters, and a floating parametric stage with bell response.
Whether adding global EQ to match a venue’s acoustics (and taking advantage of zero-latency operation for live sound), or creating versatile tone-shaping in the studio, GEQ delivers.
Two Top-Notch Topologies: Classic and Modern
Classic mode retains analog graphic EQ filter topology, while Modern mode uses “flat-top” filters that eliminate artifacts caused by band interactions. This allows perfect “plateau” and stair-shaped responses.
Precision Surgical Control
GEQ has 30 bands of precision graphic EQ—it also includes variable-frequency high and lowpass filters, and a floating, fully parametric bell EQ with frequency, gain, and Q parameters.
Zero Latency for Both Studio and Live
Zero-latency operation is ideal for live sound and global EQ for venues—but don’t forget the studio, where GEQ can shape tone, separate a mono signal into different frequency bands for stereo imaging, and create novel responses.
