The abbreviation, "EQ" is short for 'Equalization". Equalization is essentially the process of adding and/or removing specific frequencies from a sound.

There is two different kinds of EQ and they are graphic and parametric. Graphic EQ is most commonly found on mixing desks and they are the small knobs that mainly use the headings, low, mids, and highs. This is of course referring to the frequencies.

Whereas parametric EQ can be a lot more precise. It allows a sound engineer to have absolute control over a sound and remove/enhance frequencies with pin point accuracy. This is most commonly found on effects racks or in software packages.
