Parametric Equalizer
The parametric EQ contains five independent biquad
filters with programmable gain, center frequency, and
bandwidth. Each biquad filter has a gain range of Q12dB
and a center frequency range from 20Hz to 20kHz. Use a
filter Q less than that shown in Figure 22 to achieve ideal
frequency responses. Setting a higher Q results in non-
ideal frequency response. The biquad filters are series
connected, allowing a total gain of Q60dB.

ALC Enable
Enables ALC on both the DAI1 and DAI2 playback paths.
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled

ALCRLS
ALC and Excursion Limiter Release Time
Sets the release time for both the ALC and Excursion Limiter. See the Excursion
Limiter section for Excursion Limiter release times. ALC release time is defined as the
time required to adjust the gain from 12dB to 0dB.

Multiband Enable
Enables dual-band processing with a 5kHz center frequency. SR1 and SR2 must be
configured properly to achieve the correct center frequency for each playback path.
