The Sonoris Parallel Equalizer (SPEQ) is a minimum phase parametric
equalizer in VST, AU and RTAS format for Windows and Mac. The plugin is
suitable for mixing and especially mastering. It has fixed filter types on
each band and band 2 to 6 are connected in parallel. The filters are build
in a feedback/feedforward manner to provide cutting and boosting, like in
analog graphic equalizers. Band 3 to 5 are constant-Q bells and 2 and 6
are shelves. Band 1 and 7 are low/high cuts and connected in series with
the rest.

The main feature is that this eq is a lot more subtle and needs more work
to set up right because there is some interaction between the bands. In
normal series connected eq's the gains of two bands just add up but in a
parallel eq it doesn't. The filters are parallel to each other as well as
the unprocessed signal and this makes that if you have for example a low
shelve boost and switch on a low freq bell boost too, it just doesn't do
much more. You can't easily overdo things, but have to work harder to get
it right. Also, the signal path is cleaner because the filters al work on
the same input. The filters have correct gain up to Nyquist.

The plugin has a large graphical display that shows exactly what you get.
The size of the plugin can be changed to your liking by dragging the lower
right-hand corner.
