Audio Filter Designs: FIR Filters

Infinite impulse response (IIR) filters have several attractive properties:

•  They only require a few delay elements and math operations.

•  You can design them directly in the z-plane.

•  You can use existing analog designs and convert them to digital with the Bilinear z-Transform (BZT); the fact that IIR topologies somewhat resemble the signal flow in analog filters emphasizes their relationship.

•  You can get extreme resonance/gain by placing poles very near the unit circle.

•  You can make filters, EQs, and so on with controls that link to the coefficients directly or indirectly for real-time manipulation of the plug-in.

Their main drawback is that they can become unstable and blow up, or oscillate. ...
