Rockbox features a parametric equalizer (EQ). In contrast to non-parametric
equalizers, a parametric EQ enables adjusting the center frequency, gain, and
width of EQ bands separately. The ability to adjust the frequency and width
of bands enables more precise control of the EQ frequency response while
avoiding the use of a large number of bands (often 12+) needed in a
non-parametric EQ.
The graphic below illustrates how the width of 10kHz band can be adjusted to
cover a wider (lower Q) or narrower (higher Q) range of frequencies.

\note{A maximum of 10 EQ bands are possible on most devices, but using more
than are required will waste battery and introduce additional rounding
noise. For best results, use the fewest number of bands required.}

as described above.
The ``gain'' parameter controls how much each band is adjusted, and
