Features to Look For in a Car Audio Equalizer
When looking for the right car audio equalizer, it helps to know what your options are. You have a few basic choices such as boosting, limiting, and equalizing. Boosting and limiting are used to enhance or dampen certain frequencies. An equalizer will boost one frequency or frequencies and make the others less noticeable so you don’t end up with over-lapping.
For best results, your car audio equalizer should have knobs that can be turned in a variety of positions. The best car audio equalizers will use a combination of slopes and waveform filters. Some units will even use an octave function. For even greater customization, many equalizers come with additional features such as equalizer filters that add depth and clarity to the sound system.
Another important feature to look for when shopping for a car audio equalizer is whether or not it has an input sensitivity that will allow you to make adjustments manually without having to connect external hardware. The knobs and sliders on the unit should have a large variety of adjustments and make fine adjustments quickly and easily. Some units offer true bypass capability and some have true bypass with a monitor that will tell you what sounds are being processed. If you have a built-in amp with a large signal to handle, make sure that the amp also has a wide range amp input to use with the equalizer.
