Fruity 7 Band EQ is, as the names suggests, a seven-band (one low
shelf, one high shelf and five peaking) equalizer plugin, optimized for low CPU use. It is a close cousin of
Fruity Parametric EQ, which provides greater control.
EQ is short for equalization, an industry term for ‘tone control’. Most Hi-Fi systems have at least ‘bass’ and ‘treble’ controls. Fruity 7 Band EQ has seven tone controls with slightly overlapping areas. If the knobs were sliders we would call this a seven-band ‘graphic equalizer’. It’s all the same thing, really.
