PC Equalizer
What it is
PC Equalizer Pro is Windows software for customizing computer audio and accessing Equalizer APO features. It provides a 10- or 20-band equalizer across all channels, with Stereo, Mono, Swap, Invert, and Balance controls. Pan/Expand changes the width of the stereo image. Multi-Delays can produce echoes, delay, and reverb with up to 16 taps. Users can choose built-in presets or save and delete their own, then assign presets to applications such as Winamp, Windows Media Player, and PotPlayer. The program can detect active audio players, load assigned presets, launch at startup, minimize to the System Tray, and notify users when presets change. Equalizer APO setup is included in the PC Equalizer 2.1 installer; manual installation is suggested if the program does not run properly. A free demo requires no license key. Pricing is listed from $20, with a lifetime license for 3 PCs at $201,700 once.
