The process of modifying the amplitude/frequency response in a recording and reproducing system to produce flat overall characteristics, minimize noise or give an artistic effect. Phonograph records are cut with low frequencies attenuated and high frequencies boosted. Playback equalization compensates for this, producing a flat frequency characteristic. Equalization may be used to improve the quality of speech and may even involve removal of certain frequencies.
