A new type of second-order digital peaking filters for professional-quality digital audio system is proposed whose frequency response can be elaborately controlled throughout the composite structure of a standard band-pass filter and a 0-dB bypass gain. The proposed method for designing the peaking filter uses the Q-compensation technique to prevent the Q-distortion caused by the variation of the gain factor and is reduced into a compact form which is proper to the real-time implementation. Methods are examined for computing its coefficients, which are exact and very straightforward to compute with small amount of the system resources.
