equalized

Brought to parity

Equalized means made equal or brought into balance.

Audio that has been equalized has had its frequency levels adjusted: The engineer equalized the mix to bring out the vocals.

In sports, a team that has equalized has tied the score: They equalized in the 89th minute.

The word implies correction—something was uneven and has been leveled out.
