Basics of Equalization
Variable Q
In the next illustration, the wider and more gradual curve
represents a lower gain setting for a Variable Q equalizer. The
narrower and more steep curve represents a higher gain setting at

frequencies that overlap to some extent into the regions affected
by the next highest and lowest frequency band controls.
Constant Q
In contrast, a Constant Q equalizer has a more consistent range of
frequencies under its control throughout its cut/boost range, as
illustrated below:
