-Pre-calculating coefficients saves significant CPU time when processing multiple frames.
+The `OctaveFilterBank` class is highly optimized for real-time and batch processing. It uses NumPy vectorization to handle multichannel audio arrays (e.g., 64-channel microphone arrays) without explicit Python loops, ensuring maximum throughput.

-- **Butterworth:** Best compromise, maximally flat passband.
-- **Chebyshev I:** Steeper roll-off than Butterworth but with passband ripple.
-- **Chebyshev II:** Flat passband, ripple in the stopband.
-- **Elliptic:** Steepest transition but ripples in both passband and stopband.
-- **Bessel:** Best phase response and minimal ringing (group delay), but slowest roll-off.
