in magnitude and phase caused by delays (e.g., caused by cables) and the frequency response of the Moku:Lab’s analog frontend.

Selecting the right IIR filter

Filter type
Butterworth Butterworth filters have a maximally flat passband and a monotonic
frequency response, making them a good all-round filter type suitable
for most applications.
Chebyshev I Chebyshev I filters have ripple in the passband but a sharper transition
than Butterworth filters, making them useful for applications requiring
aggressive stopband attenuation but can tolerate passband ripple
between 0.1 dB and 10 dB.
Chebyshev II Chebyshev II filters have ripple in the stopband but a sharper transition
than Butterworth filters, making them useful in applications requiring
flat passbands and aggressive stopband attenuation.
Elliptical Elliptical (Cauer) filters have ripple in both passband and stopband, but
also have the sharpest possible transition. Elliptical filters are useful in
applications requiring extremely aggressive stopband attenuation.
Bessel Bessel filters have maximally flat group and phase delay in the
passband, thus preserving the wave shape of passband signals.
Gaussian Gaussian filters have the minimum possible group delay, and a step
response with no overshoot and minimum rise and fall time.
Legendre Legendre (Optimum L) filters have the sharpest possible transition
while maintaining a monotonic frequency response.
