Abstract
In one embodiment, an automatic multichannel equalization control system uses programmable multichannel templates containing equalization control values for a programmable multichannel audio processor that selectively controls each channel of multichannel audio using the equalization control values. The system also optionally uses an adaptive equalization template interface to facilitate input of user presets that are incorporated in the stored equalization templates for each audio medium. When the audio medium's identification number (ID) is read from the medium header or a particular track, the system selects the appropriate equalization template preset by the user and programs the programmable multichannel audio processor (equalizer) to effect desired audio output.
