Boost or cut treble (upper) frequencies of the audio using a two-pole shelving filter with a response similar to that of a standard hi-fi’s tone-controls. This is also known as shelving equalisation (EQ).

The filter accepts parameters as a list of key=value pairs, separated by ":".

A description of the accepted parameters follows.

gain, g

Give the gain at whichever is the lower of ~22 kHz and the Nyquist frequency. Its useful range is about -20 (for a large cut) to +20 (for a large boost). Beware of clipping when using a positive gain.

frequency, f

Set the filter’s central frequency and so can be used to extend or reduce the frequency range to be boosted or cut. The default value is 3000 Hz.

width_type

Set method to specify band-width of filter.

h

Hz

q

Q-Factor

o

octave

s

slope

width, w

Determine how steep is the filter’s shelf transition.
