Symmetrical Q
This class of equaliser has the same curves in boost as the constant-Q type, but then has cut responses that are
symmetrical with the boost ones. In other words, the bandwidth in cut is defined not according to our usual
definition of Q (see constant-Q above) but as “the point were the signal is cut by 3dB less than the maximum
cut”. Most equalisers described by their manufacturers as “Constant Q” in fact produce symmetrical
responses.
