Why do you think they call them "acoustic" if not to distinguish
them from ordinary electronic equalizers?

I never said that the equalizers of different kinds should not be
distinguished from each other. Neither did I say that the various
means of signaling should never be distinguished from each other.

You did say that microphones are equalizers.

Right, microphones are combinations of acoustic and electrical equalizers
since distinguishing the two seems to be important.

Microphones are transducers, you moron. If their frequency response
isn't flat, it's usually because it's difficult to design things like
microphones, phono cartridges, speakers, headphones, etc. to produce a
flat frequency response -- these devices are mechanical in nature.

The frequency response can be made *intentionally* non-flat or less
flat, but that still doesn't make them equalizers. Are you slow, or
just stupid?
