higher the Q wider the boost.

Quality Factor

The quality factor ("Q") in equalization defines the sharpness of the band of frequencies that are affected by the EQ. The term comes from the days when "reactive elements" were commonly used to make the equalizer have a center frequency that was boosted or cut more than any other audio frequency. How "pure" this reactance was (it's "quality factor") determined how sharply the circuit "tunes" to just one frequency, thus a higher "Q" meant the equalizer affected less frequencies. Figure 2 below shows how the "Q" parameter in EQ adjusts the amount of frequencies around the center frequency which are being boosted or cut by a similar amount as the center frequency.

are you sure?

Q is different from manufacturer to manufacturer but 90% of the time a higher Q means a wider boost(I have seen it reversed a few times). A Q of 1 is 99% of the time a boost or cut over 1 octave, a Q of 2 being 2 octaves and so on. At least that is how it is in the recording world Im a full time audio engineer.

Well, I won't argue with you. I didn't really know what it did until this thread anyway. All i can do is test it on my head unit and listen and see what it does. But everywhere i look says that higher "Q" is narrower freq, Lower "Q" is wider freq.

Can you explain why all the text about it says that, but manufactures would do the opposite? Seem counter intuitive to me. Just curious.

edit,

I mean, from what I've read "Q" is a dampening factor, so higher dampening means less, lower dampening means more. right?

Just trying to learn here.
