The Q property of the BiquadFilterNode interface is an a-rate AudioParam, a double representing a Q factor, or quality factor.
It is a dimensionless value with a default value of 1 and a nominal range of 0.0001 to 1000.

An AudioParam.
Note: Though the AudioParam returned is read-only, the value it represents is not.
The following example shows basic usage of an AudioContext to create a Biquad filter node. For more complete applied examples/information, check out our Voice-change-O-matic demo (see app.js lines 108–193 for relevant code).
js
const audioCtx = new AudioContext(); //set up the different audio nodes we will use for the app const analyser = audioCtx.createAnalyser(); const distortion = audioCtx.createWaveShaper(); const gainNode = audioCtx.createGain(); const biquadFilter = audioCtx.createBiquadFilter(); const convolver = audioCtx.createConvolver(); // connect the nodes together source = audioCtx.createMediaStreamSource(stream); source.connect(analyser); analyser.connect(distortion); distortion.connect(biquadFilter); biquadFilter.connect(convolver); convolver.connect(gainNode); gainNode.connect(audioCtx.destination); // Manipulate the Biquad filter biquadFilter.type = "lowshelf"; biquadFilter.frequency.value = 1000; biquadFilter.gain.value = 25; biquadFilter.type = "peaking"; biquadFilter.frequency.value = 1000; biquadFilter.Q.value = 100; biquadFilter.gain.value = 25;
