The scenario

A line-level audio signal passes through an input resistor to a common bus, where five series RLC branches to ground create adjustable resonance notches at 60 Hz, 250 Hz, 1 kHz, 3.5 kHz, and 12 kHz; the equalized signal is AC-coupled to a 100k load.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Selected passive shunt topology rather than active op-amp filters

02

Used series R-L-C branches with fixed resistors to set notch depth per band

03

Added input series resistor and AC output coupling/load for realistic integration

Reuse for passive line-level tone shaping where no active gain is required, especially in tube preamp/amplifier front-ends.
