# Equalizer Profiles
[](/README/README.md)
[](/README/README.pt-BR.md)
[](/README/README.ru.md)
[](/README/README.uk-UA.md)
## Introduction
This repository contains **custom equalizer profiles** designed to improve audio quality on **Windows and Linux** systems.
The profiles are intended for music, gaming, movies, and general multimedia use, and can be adapted to different audio devices and personal preferences.
---
## Supported Platforms & Applications
### Windows
- **Equalizer APO**
- **Peace Equalizer** (GUI for Equalizer APO)
### Linux
- **EasyEffects** (PipeWire – recommended)
- **PulseEffects** (PulseAudio – legacy)
- **PipeWire native equalizer filters**
> ⚠️ Most modern Linux distributions (Fedora, Arch, Ubuntu 22.10+) use **PipeWire** by default.
> In this case, **EasyEffects** is the recommended solution.
---
## Requirements
### Windows
- **Equalizer APO**
https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/
- **Peace Equalizer**
https://sourceforge.net/projects/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/
### Linux
- **EasyEffects**
- Flatpak (recommended):
```bash
flatpak install flathub com.github.wwmm.easyeffects
```
- Or install via your distribution package manager
- **PipeWire** (usually installed by default)
---
## Categories
The equalizer profiles are organized by **audio device type**:
- **Earphones**
In-ear devices such as IEMs and earbuds (wired or wireless).
- **Headphones**
Over-ear and on-ear headphones for music listening, monitoring, and general use.
- **Headsets (Gamer)**
Gaming headsets with built-in microphones, optimized for games, voice chat, and multimedia.
- **Speakers**
Desktop speakers, bookshelf speakers, and traditional speaker systems.
- **Soundbars**
Soundbars used with TVs, monitors, or desktop setups.
This structure ensures consistency across **Windows (Peace / Equalizer APO)**
and **Linux (EasyEffects / PipeWire / PulseEffects)** environments.
---
## How to Apply Profiles
### Windows (Peace Equalizer)
1. Open **Peace Equalizer**.
2. Configure the frequency bands and filters according to the profile.
3. Click **Save settings** and name your profile
Example: `MyEQConfig`.
4. To load a profile:
- Open Peace Equalizer
- Go to **Presets**
- Select `MyEQConfig`
---
### Linux (EasyEffects)
1. Open **EasyEffects**.
2. Enable the **Equalizer** effect.
3. Configure the frequency bands manually or import a preset.
4. Click **Presets → Save Preset**.
5. (Optional) Assign the preset to:
- System output
- Specific applications
> EasyEffects supports **per-application profiles**, which is not available in Equalizer APO.
---
## Profile Compatibility Notes
- Frequency bands and gain values are **fully transferable** between:
- Peace Equalizer ↔ EasyEffects
- Some filter names may differ depending on the application:
- **Preamp** → **Input Gain**
- **Peak Filter** → **Bell Filter**
- Always adjust **preamp/input gain** to avoid clipping or distortion.
---
## Final Considerations
These profiles are based on **personal listening preferences** and may not be ideal for:
- Every headset, headphone, or speaker
- All music genres or use cases
Feel free to tweak:
- Gain levels
- Q values
- Preamp volume
If you improve or adapt a profile for a specific device, consider sharing it with the community.
