  • DSP-based vehicle equalization design system
    Patent number: 5617480
    Abstract: A DSP-based vehicle equalization design system has been described, which allows the audio engineer to quickly and efficiently design an equalizer from an easy-to-use Graphic User Interface (GUI) computer interface. Vehicle equalizations, with high precision and parameter variability can be developed in a short period of time. The system and method of design provide DSP filter coefficients for use as-is in actual DSP-based production vehicle equalization hardware.
