[QUOTE="thch, post: 3717602, member: 562032"] the title is pretty close, Q = Bandwidth / CenterFrequency. (center frequency is geometric, not arithmetic) eg, a filter with a Q of 1, centered at 100hz, would mainly affect 61.8hz - 161.8hz. note that this is 100hz of bandwidth (1 * 100hz = Q * Fc), and that 100hz is the geometric mean (61.8 * 161.8 = 100 * 100). a Q of 10 would mean only 10hz around 100hz are primarily affected (95.1hz to 105.1hz) since your HU has feasible Q values, the "Q" might actually refer to Q. Simpler HUs often have Q as a "1 2 or 3", where 1,2, and 3 are settings and not literal values for Q. [/QUOTE]
