Overview

r7-EQ is a small EQ app for Equalizer APO. I made it for my speakers and headphones, mostly to bring down the dynamic range on the speakers and shape the sound the way I like.

The processing runs inside Equalizer APO, so it keeps working with the window closed. It's pretty barebones and mostly made for my own setup, but it should work with anything Equalizer APO supports.

Included Features

EQ Curve

Up to 64 points, over a live spectrum analyzer.

Dials for tilt, warmth, presence and air, plus stereo width, 3D and room reverb.

Compressor

Based on Chrome's Web Audio compressor code, and the T button sets a reasonable default for TV and dialogue.

Device Profiles

Each playback device has its own settings and presets, and the app switches to whichever one Windows is using.

Switches

The All switch turns r7-EQ off for every device, and the EQ and Comp switches only affect the current device.
