An equalizer bank with interference reduction is disclosed. The equalizer bank with interference reduction comprises a front-shelving filter, a plurality of peak filters, a rear-shelving filter and a plurality of compensators. The center frequency and the quality factor of each compensator are designed intentionally to be identical to those of the corresponding peak filter. When a user selects a specific gain level, the corresponding parameters that determine the peak filter and the compensator are retrieved directly and a complex calculation is skipped. Therefore, an audio signal can be equalized more efficiently with lower hardware cost.
