"Equalization"
(also known as "EQ") is the process
of adjusting the high or low tones of a given sound.
Most
stereo systems (and even TV sets today!) have equalizers
built in--even if it's nothing more complicated than
a bass or treble control. If you've ever pumped up the
bass on your car stereo, you are already familiar with
the basic notion of adjusting equalization.
However,
most consumer gear only allows you to adjust the equalization
as it comes out the speakers--usually you can't adjust
the tone of the sound as it being recorded. Professional
equipment, on the other hand, does indeed give you this
opportunity.
Since
this is mostly a function of the post-production process,
I won't go into great detail here--all you really need
to know at this point is that equalization CAN be adjusted
when you record audio. To the right is an example of
the impact it can have.
