Should you always use linear phase EQ?
Phase shift artifacts may cause instruments to sound strange, so linear phase EQ would be a great choice. We can say that narrow cuts and boosts and steep bandpass filters are two situations where you might consider linear phase over minimum phase EQs. Keep reading—there are more uses for these magical devices.
Which of the following is a disadvantage to using a linear phase EQ?
We can safely say that the biggest drawback with the linear phase EQ is without any doubt the pre-ringing. The shape of the EQ curve governs the amount of pre-ringing (in fact there is a precise mathematical relationship between the EQ curve and the amount of pre-ringing for linear phase EQ).
When should you use linear phase EQ?
The main reason to consider using a Linear Phase EQ is that when using minimal phase EQ, the combined signals will have a non-linear phase relationship that will vary both with Q and with degree of boost/attenuation. This isn't always a problem, and in fact can be a good thing.
What is the difference between linear phase EQ and Channel EQ?
Linear Phase EQ uses a different underlying technology to Channel EQ that preserves the phase of the audio signal. ... This differs from Channel EQ, which can introduce phase shifts of the signal that can have an audible (and often desirable) effect on the sound.
