- Real-Time Audio in Simulink
Create a model using the Simulink® templates and blocks for audio processing.
- Equalization
Understand the foundations of audio equalization and how equalizers are implemented in Audio Toolbox.
- Dynamic Range Control
Understand the foundations of dynamic range control and how compressors, limiters, expanders, and noise gates are implemented in Audio Toolbox.
- Parametric Equalizer Design

Featured Examples
Automated Design of Audio Filters for Room Equalization
Combine Optimization Toolbox™ and Audio Toolbox to develop an algorithm that automatically tunes a set of filter parameters.
Multistage Sample-Rate Conversion of Audio Signals
Use a multistage/multirate approach to sample rate conversion between different audio sampling rates.
Graphic Equalization
Demonstrates two forms of graphic equalizers constructed using building blocks from Audio Toolbox™. It also shows how to export them as VST plugins to be used in a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
Multiband Dynamic Range Compression
Simulate a digital audio multiband dynamic range compression system.
Delay-Based Audio Effects
Design and use three audio effects that are based on varying delay: echo, chorus and flanger. The example also shows how the algorithms, developed in MATLAB, can be easily ported to Simulink.
Psychoacoustic Bass Enhancement for Band-Limited Signals
An audio plugin designed to enhance the perceived sound level in the lower part of the audible spectrum.
Audio Phaser Using Multiband Parametric Equalizer
Implement a real-time audio "phaser" effect which can be tuned by a user interface (UI). It also shows how to generate a VST plugin for the phaser that you can import into a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
Identification and Separation of Panned Audio Sources in a Stereo Mix
Extract an audio source from a stereo mix based on its panning coefficient. This example illustrates MATLAB® and Simulink® implementations.
Acoustic Noise Cancellation Using LMS
Use the Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm to subtract noise from an input signal. The LMS adaptive filter uses the reference signal on the Input
port and the desired signal on the Desired
port to automatically match the filter response. As it converges to the correct filter model, the filtered noise is subtracted and the error signal should contain only the original signal.
Active Noise Control Using a Filtered-X LMS FIR Adaptive Filter
Apply adaptive filters to the attenuation of acoustic noise via active noise control.
Pitch Shifting and Time Dilation Using a Phase Vocoder in MATLAB
Implement a phase vocoder to time stretch and pitch scale an audio signal.
Pitch Shifting and Time Dilation Using a Phase Vocoder in Simulink
Use a phase vocoder to implement time dilation and pitch shifting of an audio signal.
Remove Interfering Tone From Audio Stream
Remove a 250 Hz interfering tone from a streaming audio signal using a notch filter.
Vorbis Decoder
Implement a Vorbis decoder, which is a freeware, open-source alternative to the MP3 standard. This audio decoding format supports the segmentation of encoded data into small packets for network transmission.
Add Reverberation Using Freeverb Algorithm
Apply reverberation to audio by using the Freeverb reverberation algorithm. The reverberation can be tuned using a user interface (UI) in MATLAB or through a MIDI controller. This example illustrates MATLAB® and Simulink® implementations.
Cochlear Implant Speech Processor
Simulate the design of a cochlear implant that can be placed in the inner ear of a profoundly deaf person to restore partial hearing. Signal processing is used in cochlear implants to convert sound to electrical pulses. The pulses can bypass the damaged parts of a deaf person's ear and be transmitted to the brain to provide partial hearing.
Dynamic Range Compression Using Overlap-Add Reconstruction
Compress the dynamic range of a signal by modifying the range of the magnitude at each frequency bin. This nonlinear spectral modification is followed by an overlap-add FFT algorithm for reconstruction. This system might be used as a speech enhancement system for the hearing impaired. The algorithm in this simulation is derived from a patented system for adaptive processing of telephone voice signals for the hearing impaired originally developed by Alvin M. Terry and Thomas P. Krauss at US West Advanced Technologies Inc., US patent number 5,388,185.
Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC)
Apply adaptive filters to acoustic echo cancellation (AEC).
Time-Frequency Masking for Harmonic-Percussive Source Separation
Time-frequency masking is the process of applying weights to the bins of a time-frequency representation to enhance, diminish, or isolate portions of audio.
