equalization
Making things uniform
Equalization is the process of making things equal or uniform.
In audio engineering, equalization (often shortened to EQ) adjusts the balance of frequencies in a sound signal: The mix needed some equalization to bring out the vocals.
In economics and policy, equalization refers to systems that redistribute resources to reduce disparities between regions or groups: federal equalization payments to poorer provinces.
