This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The BiquadFilterNode()
constructor creates a new BiquadFilterNode
object which represents a simple low-order filter, and is created using the AudioContext.createBiquadFilter() method..
var biquadFilterNode = new BiquadFilterNode(context, options)

: One of "lowpass
", "highpass
", "bandpass
", "lowshelf
", "highshelf
", "peaking
", "notch
", "allpass
". The meaning of the other options depends on the value of this one.lowpass
: Allows frequencies below a cutoff frequency to pass through and attenuates frequencies above the cutoff. This is a standard second-order resonant lowpass filter with 12dB/octave rolloff.
Q
: Controls how peaked the response will be at the cutoff frequency. A large value makes the response more peaked. Please note that for this filter type, this value is not a traditional Q, but is a resonance value in decibels..frequency
: The cutoff frequency.gain
: Not used.highpass
: A highpass filter is the opposite of a lowpass filter. Frequencies above the cutoff frequency are passed through, but frequencies below the cutoff are attenuated. It implements a standard second-order resonant highpass filter with 12dB/octave rolloff.
Q
: Controls how peaked the response will be at the cutoff frequency. A large value makes the response more peaked. Please note that for this filter type, this value is not a traditional Q, but is a resonance value in decibels..frequency
: The cutoff frequency.gain
: Not used.bandpass
: A bandpass filter allows a range of frequencies to pass through and attenuates the frequencies below and above this frequency range. It implements a second-order bandpass filter.
Q
: Controls the width of the band. The width becomes narrower as the Q value increases..frequency
: The center of the frequency band.gain
: Not used.lowshelf
: The lowshelf filter allows all frequencies through, but adds a boost (or attenuation) to the lower frequencies. It implements a second-order lowshelf filter.
Q
: Not used.frequency
: The upper limit of the frequences where the boost (or attenuation) is applied.gain
: The boost, in dB, to be applied. If the value is negative, the frequencies are attenuated.highshelf
: The highshelf filter is the opposite of the lowshelf filter and allows all frequencies through, but adds a boost to the higher frequencies. It implements a second-order highshelf filter.
Q
: Not used.frequency
: The lower limit of the frequences where the boost (or attenuation) is applied.gain
: The boost, in dB, to be applied. If the value is negative, the frequencies are attenuated.peaking
: The peaking filter allows all frequencies through, but adds a boost (or attenuation) to a range of frequencies.
Q
: The width of the band of frequencies that are boosted. A large value implies a narrow width.frequency
: The center frequency of the boost range.gain
: The boost, in dB, to be applied. If the value is negative, the frequencies are attenuated.notch
: The notch filter (also known as a band-stop or band-rejection filter) is the opposite of a bandpass filter. It allows all frequencies through, except for a set of frequencies.
Q
: The width of the band of frequencies that are attenuated. A large value implies a narrow width.frequency
: The center frequency of the attenuation range.gain
: Not used.allpass
: An allpass filter allows all frequencies through, but changes the phase relationship between the various frequencies. It implements a second-order allpass filter.
Q
: The sharpness of the phase transition at the center frequency. A larger value implies a sharper transition and a larger group delay.frequency
: The frequency where the center of the phase transition occurs. Viewed another way, this is the frequency with maximal group delay.gain
