Static, Dynamic and Spectral
Every active band can remain transparent, move from its own detector controls, or catch resonances selectively inside its frequency and Q zone.

Precision. Motion. Character.
A modern eight-band equalizer that moves from clean correction to intelligent dynamic and spectral control—then adds optional console personality only when the music asks for it.

THE IDEA
Power without the learning curve.
Work directly on the spectrum, turn any band into a frequency-aware Dynamic or Spectral processor, draw complete ideas with EQ Sketch and compare every move with Delta, Gain Match and A/B/C. Natural and Linear Phase keep the precision honest; four optional Console characters add color in Natural Phase.
WHAT IT GIVES YOU
Fast on top.
Deep underneath.
Clean phase choice, optional color
Natural Phase stays immediate, Linear Phase provides phase-coherent FFT shaping, and Console character remains an optional Natural-Phase finishing stage with up to 16x oversampling.
A complete decision workflow
EQ Sketch, Freeze, Delta, Gain Match, A/B/C, 100 factory presets, user Save/Load, readable metering and four live themes keep complex work fast.

What is Shark Digital EQ?
An eight-band precision equalizer that combines static, Dynamic and Spectral processing in one graph-based workflow, with Natural and Linear Phase, EQ Sketch, professional comparison tools, presets and optional Console character.
Is it clean or colored?
Both, by choice. Natural Phase with Console set to Clean is transparent. Linear Phase is the strict precision path and disables Console color. In Natural Phase, Punch, Class A, Discrete and Transformer can add restrained harmonic personality after the EQ.
What is the difference between Dynamic and Spectral?
Dynamic moves the complete band according to a frequency-filtered detector, threshold, signed range, attack and release. Spectral works inside the band zone and reduces individual resonant bins while preserving the static EQ gain beneath it.
Can a Spectral band still boost?
Yes. Positive, zero or negative static gain remains active. Spectral mode adds adaptive resonance reduction inside that shape; enabling it does not force the band into a cut.
How does EQ Sketch work?
Draw from left to right. Each excursion away from 0 dB becomes a musical section. Depth controls gain, width informs Q, edge gestures can create cuts or shelves, and returning near 0 dB commits the section.
When should I use Linear Phase?
Use it when preserving phase relationships is more important than latency, such as parallel paths or selected mastering corrections. It reports 2048 samples. Natural Phase is the better first choice for tracking and fast musical work.
Why is Console disabled in Linear Phase?
Console character is nonlinear and creates harmonics. Shark keeps the mode language honest by disabling Console, Drive and its oversampling in Linear Phase while remembering the settings for Natural Phase.
How hard should I drive the Console section?
For mastering and mix bus work, start in the first half and level-match the result. The taper is deliberately subtle there. The upper quarter is reserved for clearly audible saturation.
What oversampling setting should I choose?
4x is the practical default. Use 2x when CPU matters and 8x or 16x for final-quality comparisons at stronger Drive settings.
What do Delta, Gain Match and Freeze do?
Delta auditions the time-aligned difference signal. Gain Match reduces loudness bias. Freeze holds only the analyzer; processing, meters and numerical readings continue to work.
How many presets and themes are included?
There are 100 categorized factory presets plus user Save, Load and favorites. Clicking the Shark cycles Cyan, Purple, Red and Green live themes.
Can I resize the interface?
Yes. The fixed 16:10 interface supports 60%, 80%, 100%, 120% and 140% sizes, plus a host-aware fullscreen request with a large-editor fallback.
