What PC Equalizer is
PC Equalizer Pro is Windows software for customizing computer audio output and accessing Equalizer APO features. Its equalizer has 10 or 20 bands and supports all channels. Channel controls include Stereo, Mono, Swap, Invert, and Balance, while Pan/Expand can widen or narrow the stereo image. Multi-Delays can produce echoes, delay, and reverb using 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 and load the assigned preset. It can also launch at startup, minimize to the System Tray, and notify users when an assigned preset changes. Equalizer APO setup is included in the PC Equalizer 2.1 installer; if the program does not run properly, the site advises trying a manual Equalizer APO installation. The product page says it supports popular Windows versions. A free demo is available without a license key, and a free trial is listed. The site lists a lifetime license for 3 PCs at 201700.00 USD once, as well as pricing from $20.
