UTILIZATION

Config very easy to use
you can access all the menus and settings easily and without getting lost
manual clear and french help much to further the options of each menu
a very pleasant visual via the backlit display allows perfect coordination settings
+ + The mémoie, unwanted

SOUND QUALITY

Clean sounds through the filters no parasites
I use it to mix my synth and drum machine and decision-voice
Most universities are above
and I do not see the use that I made

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week in my little hs
I like the config of the machine which is very intuitive for me
after that is always the eternal problem of behringer I am aware that for some products in the gadget is quick but it's sincerely not the case

Super for a century that I try to balance my 4 and 3-way, in fact it comes from the piece of listening (I knew it but unfortunately without paying the required importance) kein problem beyringer doctor suits you instantly. It must be micro but the fact ca (alles automatiche after taking a small head with the user manual)

UTILIZATION

A little complicated depent ca ...

SOUND QUALITY

N I use it all but for me nothing negative

OVERALL OPINION

Without this trick of the day would always be my rotten (by pass thank you) so frankly it does not replace the positioning of speakers in the room that makes him even when there is no architectural photo.

This is a graphic equalizer 1 / 3 octave and settings. It possde some signal processing functions as an adjustable time limit, a compressor expander ...
It also possde a spectrum analyzer 1 / 6 octave! and an automatic rglage via micro not included.
Input analog or digital. I use it with the DCX2496 the same brand to power amplification in sorting my B & W 802-s1 (see this)
it is rack as shown in the picture. See site dtail Manufacturer

UTILIZATION

The manual is pretty clear ... it took me a Journe to absorb 90% of the two rglages DCX2496 DEQ2496 I reus and at the same time. Auusi time to the cables XLR adapter / CINCH. I prcise rest as I shut the analog 20 years ago (I'm ending for 50)
I think the edition is fairly easy and intuitive (when it was all gone)
BMOL a small, mount trs strong contrast of the display, especially if not in the axis and small dtail, it was not the same color as DCX2496

SOUND QUALITY

The rglages are easy, efficient little GUI is good.
The sound seems good trs, instruments clearly reproduced. There remains a small problem on my complte string I put into the account of B & W tweeters (this is the s1 SERIES of 1980) I just bought the 6001 and tweeters Polkaudio ribbon to compare. It's impressive to see the work rglage automatic.
Your exact trs is good, as with my AVR745 or Yamaha DSP3090 AVR1400 or Denon but much better than 3806 (see this) Little more Behringer are the plethora of small rglages such as being able manually limit the number of a correction in dB + and - or choose the auto frquences RULES especially in the low end. J would have AIM, however, a limit to rgler sparment up and down. It is not good to want to compensate me for example, del 6 dB in a low HP, for a rsonance attnuer cons of -15 dB does not shock me.
The display allowed me to see immediately that the three of BMA 801 HP were not the same performance and compensate for the DCX. I use my string on all types of music from the dancefloor to classical stringed instruments and organ, etc.;

OVERALL OPINION

Incredible to have such a unit this price!
I make my era the 10 bands equalizer and a spectrum analyzer (240 drill holes lol)
The report price is poustouflant quality, I do not understand dtracteurs brand for ct technique, for reliability and customer service I can not comment. For reliability I can even tell when I possde DSP8024 a properly functioning for 3 years and I bought used.
Particular feature I like least, contrast and color display.
I would do this choice probably, I'll probably buy a 2nd for surround and can be a signal processing in the same brand.
Finally, I expect the microphone type 8000 (a month late even when, controlled mid October 2008)

Graphic equalizer with analyzer controlled by an external microphone (self EQUAL possible with external microphone is not included in purchase)
EQ dynamics (loudness useful to simulate, for example)
Parametric EQ (useful for eliminating resonance frequencies)
Compressor
Expander (elimination of noise not very useful in a hifi system)
Stereo Imager
mini manager input-output
User memories for presets
Steering midi presets for activation during operation

UTILIZATION

Hi-Fi, and correction speakers listening room resonances
Effective enough evidence, I rediscovered most of my club, provided you have speakers and an amp of sufficient quality and good power reserve;
listening to classical and jazz of the 60s but later (Joe Calderazzo, IS, Belmondo ...)
I put a little compression and EQ dynamic, self EQUAL is correct but you have to soften the curve and then finish at the ear for a quality result is just an indication, do not expect that digital replace your ear.
It took me about 4 days to master the possibilities of correcting, the record seems a bit but everything is fine if you know what one speaks, if not with the internet, it is not a problem.

SOUND QUALITY

No detectable background noise, I listen to 2 X 70 watts and watts are the Harman Kardon, that is the true RMS and not Dyn.
Graphic EQ precise, the dynamic is very fine attention to exaggerations, compression without regard to any condition to go soft, stereo handy when one is offset from the axis of the speakers. Sounds really amazing and has nothing to envy of most famous brands in the studio.
In my opinion, the BBE maximize or otherwise is largely useless when you push the DEQ in its possibilities quite impressive. (Listening to Handel's Dixit Dominus has reduced more than one processor, it is the choirs and the orchestration with variations of dynamic collapse in a lot of HiFi systems (including my own hence my purchase of correction) after treatment, all the power and finesse of this work appears very realistic.

OVERALL OPINION

Replaces racks of treatment that is still sold there is not so long ago (all separate effects), lack of space and I found a unit that should meet all the fans who rediscover their hi-fi stereo system, try to bypass the DEQ running and you know what I mean.
I also tested a small set of fairly limited in stereo, and incredibly, I managed to make it sound so, for me it is a test unstoppable.
The control screen is a little reminiscent of the orange lettering computers that ran on earlier versions of the back, but hey, I was not looking a flat screen.
Frankly, a great success Behringer, I really could not believe it but now I bow, good job for the user hifi demanding to try before embarking on the purchase of new speakers ...

In fact it is a clone of following in the Wave Dsp following:

Multiband Compressor
Phase Expander
Limiter
De esser

He also excellent stereo 31-band graphic equalizer
A parametric
And an anti-feedback for live

The LCD is of good quality

The routing and chaining are configurable DSP and back up through a bank users

Master output and monitoring
The connection is complete, Aes Ebu - SPDIF - clock - midi in / out - Xlr / jack

UTILIZATION

The manual comes in several languages, including ours.

The config is very simple, you have to "manipulate" the various sections to get a good report.

SOUND QUALITY

Everything is well thought out, the sound is not distorted, unless you compress a nag ...

OVERALL OPINION

I just sell it because I do not use it much anymore, I have other options for the same purpose, do not use it on stage, the feedback function I was not needed.

I used it for over 5 years with happiness, no loss!

Unbeatable value for money ...

Overall, this is a box of digital effects that can influence the frequency response in dynamic sound passing through it.

The technology used is mainly digital, that the sound is converted to digital input, except to get in already digitized format (SPDIF or AES / BU) and is converted to analog output (except out in digital format change).

Principally engaged in a 31-band graphic equalizer, plus a variety of EQ, compression.

For the rest I refer to the product documentation available on the Behringer website: http://www.behringer.com/FR/Products/DEQ2496.aspx

UTILIZATION

I use it for several functions:

1) I go out of my SPDIF format and send console 01V96VCM modulation "Main" in DEQ2496 if necessary to treat the sound broadcast room.

2) I use the digital output AES / BU to transmit sound to another box facade "cousin", ULTRAMATCH PRO SRC2496. This allows me to keep the signal in digital format as long as possible without breaking the chain.

3) I use the DEQ2496 to equalize the sound room using the automatic search function of the resonance frequencies.

The manual is quite clear and the use of the DEQ2496 is relatively easy in general, provided to give a bit of trouble to capture the main features.

SOUND QUALITY

It is always difficult to say if the system interferes with the signal quality product output console as much as I do not use the A / D input, or the D / A output.

A tip on this subject: we do not overstate the harm can be done by subjecting a signal of the different A / D and D / A in the processing path. I read an article in "Sono magazine" I believe a recent study that shows these adverse effects.

For my part, I send my broadcast signal, output D / A conversion of my SPC2496 (connected to my DEQ2496), to a NEXO LS400 NXAMP4X1C + + PS10A and everything sounds correctly in my ears.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, this is a nice little fun and cheap equipment that can process sound in a satisfactory manner for personal or semi-professional.

I like the function of automatic equalization of the spectrum of frequency response of the room used. This is a function that always made me dream when I was reading the articles on material Altec Lansing (to the great age of 70 years. The old like me will understand!).
Behringer has implemented it in its case for a highly competitive price and I recommend it.

In the end, this unit has a very good quality / price ratio and I do it again the choice of purchase if necessary.

see data sheet of the unit

UTILIZATION

I don 't use it just for the rta (easy to calibrate) and meter (as practice and display the peak rms)

SOUND QUALITY

I can not say because I do not "cross" not the device: I 'sends the signal via spdif out of my console

OVERALL OPINION

I have bypassed all the functions and I use it only for its function rta (spectrum analyzer) and is great for that!
the equation is quite graphic sucks (not accurate at all) and the function of self eq to correct the acoustics of a room is pretty bogus ... I have not even tried the compressor ...
but hey, considering the price this machine can not do anything!

Digital Equalizer

UTILIZATION

rackmount configuration very simple, clear manual that I read once.
The controls fall to hand and it comprises 90% of the operation just by looking at the LCD backlight.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are numerous and effective, it certainly should not expect to be on the *** for such a price but it plays its role in small and medium-sized halls: and semi parametric EQ parametric, compressor / limiter, stereo width processing, multiband compression, spectral analysis of a room with feedback suppressor (via a micro analysis), generating white noise / pink ... The tool is really full.

OVERALL OPINION

Very good value for money, I was afraid to buy Berhinger because it is the bane of sound engineers, but the brand gives us is a product of excellent craftsmanship in the finish. Very practical

UTILIZATION

Many parameters and possibilities. Be patient and read the user's manual so you understand how it works. The display menus and pages are well conceived!!

SOUND QUALITY

I find it's really a good device considering the price!! It enhances the sound of my keyboards and racks (I gave rediscovered my Roland JD990 and JV2080!!). It's stunning!! Be careful with the compressor and avoid extreme settings! In spite of this, everything is great considering the price!! I think it's a good tool live and even in the studio.

OVERALL OPINION

I haven't found a con until now (I've been using it for one month). You only need to think logically and be patient (it will be like magic!) I previously had a Behringer DSP9024 without digital input and output. This device does provide these connections, which is a must to stay up to date in the digital world!! I recommend it if you play live on stage (and if you like the Behringer sound!!)
