Audio equalization is a vast and active research area. The extent of research means that
one often cannot identify the preferred technique for a particular problem. This review paper …

This paper proposes improvements to the Aures' tonality metric, which can be used for
estimating the frequency masking of complex sounds. The perception of tonality has been …

This paper proposes a high-precision graphic equalizer based on second-order parallel
filters. Previous graphic equalizers suffer from interaction between adjacent band filters …

A high-order graphic equalizer has the advantage that the gain in one band is highly
independent of the gains in the adjacent bands. However, all practical filters have transition …

This work proposes graphic equalizer designs with third-octave and Bark frequency
divisions using symmetric band filters with a prescribed Nyquist gain to reduce …

An adaptive perceptual equalizer for headphones is introduced. It estimates the effect of
auditory masking while considering the characteristics of the headphones, ambient noise …

In order to create a natural hear-through experience when wearing the headset, the acoustic
attenuation of the headset itself must be cancelled. This is obtained by processing the …

The noise can affect the listening experience in many real-life situations involving
loudspeakers as a playback device. A solution to reduce the effect of the noise is to employ …

The popularity of headphones has increased rapidly along with digital music and mobile
phones. The environment in which headphones are used has also changed quite …

There are many situations where ambient noise can disturb the listening of music through
loudspeakers, the most usual inside cars, trains or airplanes. A common solution is to listen …
