equalizer
An equalizer is an audio device or software that allows the adjustment of different frequency bands to provide a better balance or desired emphasis. It can enhance or reduce specific audio frequencies to make the sound more pleasant, clear, or to correct imbalances. In mathematics, an equalizer refers to a condition in category theory.

The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Equalizer
In electro-magnetic mechanism an arrangement for converting the pull of the electro-magnet varying in intensity greatly over its range of action, into a pull of sensibly equal strength throughout. The use of a rocking lever acting as a cam, with leverage varying as the armature approaches or recedes from the magnet core is one method of effecting the result. Such is shown in the cut. E is an electro-magnet, with armature a. A and B are the equalizer cams. The pull on the short end of the cam B is sensibly equal for its whole length. Many other methods have been devised, involving different shapes of pole pieces, armatures or mechanical devices other than the one just shown.
