The opposite of dipping, of course. A peak is an EQ curve that looks like a hill, or a peak. Peaking with an equalizer amplifies a band of frequencies.
A term used to indicate an increase in gain of a frequency or band of frequencies when equalizing an audio signal.
When a signal exceeds a specific level such that it produces distortion. If the input signal to a mixer is too high, it will light the "peak" or "OL" (overload) LED (light emitting diode) to tell the operator it must be turned down. Most devices incorporate a peak light whose circuitry monitors the level at several points in the audio circuitry. see peak light
A signal of the maximum displacement from its mean (average) position.
A means of compensating for mid- and high-frequency RGB video bandwidth response in data monitors and projectors and for signal losses resulting from cable capacitance. The higher the frequency and longer the cable length, the more peaking may be required.
An equalizer circuit that is used to cut and boost a signal, centered about a specific frequency, Using the bandwidth (Q) parameter, you can widen or narrow the effect of the circuit.
