Just two general-purpose first order IIR sections
is all you need for either the forward or inverse
filter. Any textbook on digital filters will tell
you how to program them. Inverting the LF filter
requires an extra pole below the audio range to
avoid infinite DC gain.

The channel EQ you'll find on most digital mixers is
not linear-phase at all, nor acausal. In almost all
cases it's just first and second order IIR filters.
For plugins anything goes, but the most of them are
not linear phase, and no filter operating in real
time can ever be acausal - by definition.
Ciao,
