Equalizer Peaks recreates the look of a high-end stereo equalizer — segmented vertical meters with falling peak holds, classic green-yellow-red gradient cells, and full bass-boost weighting. It is the most "professional broadcast" scene in the Xenaxio library, and it earns immediate audio-engineer credibility.
Each bar consists of stacked segments lit up to the current frequency-band level. Peaks hold for a configurable time and decay slowly, exactly as physical and software EQ meters do. Combined with a palette like Bloodstream or Gold Rush, you get a scene that feels engineered, not just designed.
For YouTube hip-hop, rock and electronic music videos this scene reads as authentic studio gear — viewers parse it before they parse the artwork. Drop it as a layer behind your text overlays for an instant pro-look lower-third.
The scene supports up to 48 bars and 32 cell rows. Push both to their max for dense data-visualisation styling, or scale both down for a chunky retro arcade look.
