NOTICE GLOBAL

Cel made several years that I use. He served in the sound system, home studio, and now in stereo in my living room
He does his job, and he has a nice look!
Only BMOL: 2 units high is a bit bulky (however it is very light), not among numriques of series, you must obtain an optional card to have e / s aes / ebu.
In short good machine, alas a little Exceeds (I also owns his replacement, the DEQ2496, which for once is when even more complete and compact!)

good camera, especially for Efficiency

UTILIZATION

the configuration is not it obvious .... accompanied CM8000, sound mid-pce, not evident with a manual in French but very correct ........ simplify memory by returning against a spectrum from left to right, for example ..... better have good ears .....
for the setting when stationary frequencies or reverb or echo is terrible setting délaisentre ways impeccable

SOUND QUALITY

effective effects

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 11 years
most: memory several programs, at least: for knowledgeable people ....

Functionality in all is said and fro.

Please note some functions are type cheese or dessert.

Note a 48v Phantom Mic, a microphone etalonage take a linear curve to the measurements, we can measure each channel L and R or Stereo mode.

Midifié complete with Thru ...

UTILIZATION

Sound to a room, fix the acoustics of a room, the camera is very good. we leave the microphone is launching a scan with the pink noise and voila it's done ... Well, almost because it will touch even when the curve to avoid the gun down in the encientes extrem extreme or severe acute

This device is NOT DONE FOR THE HIFI because it will make it neutral speakers or amps that have a particular sound. It is for the studio or room monitor, no HiFi!

I use it in EQ!

SOUND QUALITY

I have not had a complain. My studio is made very neutral thanks to this device so that I still wonder after two years of use how I did it for me without it.

It is neutral, no discoloration, very good converter.

OVERALL OPINION

I like it. It corresponds to what I wanted, 'the display is off, the menus practices, the correction is very good (with retrouche).

Something good con (-1), there is no on / off in frontage, this is stupid as it is in a rack, there are really slaps that are lost, 1 euro economy?

Equalo 2x31 bands numrique 24-bit, anti feedback, delay, limiter, ...

all editable via PC noon on software free of behringer.com

Input / output XLR and Jack, optional AES, South Complete ...

a small Swiss Army knife makes many services to small and medium-instalation

UTILIZATION

Very simple to implement, intuitive and securit few of good quality.

Many memories configuration manual clear but not really useful!

SOUND QUALITY

Sound very correct, good, do not ask him to be transparent on a big system ...
effective correction, I put a note on condition not to put a 15,000 watt system in the ass ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for 6 years, I started with the first 8000 and I am the evolution of these machines.

frankly, for the price it's a great product, well, it's not Sabine, but that's not the same category either.

I remain faithful to these products for instalations medium, and I run buy the latest models ...

I treated myself to a DSP 8024 for a birthday suite has a full article in New magazine and as a result of his has an article on it appeared configs characters or home cinema in a config.
I chose it because it had a 5 canvases in the test with only compliments NRDS super funky ....

It's been a long time I wanted to give my opinion on the 8024 DSP but I do it with a bit of amerture.

In the era when it was released, he turned over 600, including microphone. I touch a 350 (I think) APRS opration a "price reductions" of Beringher (phew, it's one week ... prs)

For technical details, (I no longer believe all fawns ...) see details on the website and other internet. I no longer believe in the% S / N dB, and copper cables VNUS we do the bugles. I prefer tubes and power supplies as big as my fist.

The brushed aluminum facade is of good quality solid and well finished. The selection buttons are too. rack type 19 format. "

The manual, for me, trs trs is not intuitive for those who know nothing, and requires a minimum ability to understand and rglages.

UTILIZATION

I do not have sound, so for me the functions anti feedback ... I do not use.

Using silent for use HIFI.
FYI, I use a pre amp Denon 1801 (bought a little too fast ...), amplifiers ROTEL RB1070 (to compensate for the lack of the denon PCHE) and 2 Jamo D830 (very glad also for the volume ratio bandwidth), on foot aluminum ballast of sand dune pila

Originally I bought it to compensate for a low default too strong, typical bump due positioning in the corner of one of two speakers and the walls too prs (the D830 have the event on the rear). Of course, I could find another position by transferring the table eat the sofa and my girlfriend flowers, but until proven otherwise, we all live between four walls and we do not put the speakers in the open middle of the room ... So I bought an equalizer and I provide continuous live in my living room.

How it works self calibration? Easy.

Connect the microphone. Switch on the auto Q DSP. Position the microphone in the center of the cost. Launch the application. (DO NOT FORGET TO GIVE ALL THE CENTRE BEFORE pots otherwise the new sum correction with the old ...) then the test begins (silence, we no longer talk!) First, a speaker, then the other. After a few seconds, the correction curve appears. I understand that the DSP is a kind of average of the values ​​it collects.

Good so far, so good. it puts a?? "Do not forget to put all the other pots .... then ...... appears" eh? how was it not the same correction curve?? it has reremet!! "... Seems not." Well, no, no way to have exactly 3 curves scabs. Well, they are similar in the midrange and treble but n'esprez not have a super rponse prcise in the grave. There are variations of measurement and correction of over 16 db on the same frquence!! can not you tell me. But in fact this is explained. If the bumps and hollows are too large, you have two problem.

1 - DSP8024 refuses to apply a correction of more than 16 db. So if the first measure, there is a correction of say 15 dB, it is applied. If at the second, it is 17 db, by default, it puts the knob Azro ... So you end up with (starting from 20 Hz) a correction of 0-0 - 12 - 0-9 - (-2 ).... jumping from 12 to 0 to 9, because it s'ait self protection. Then you re-correct the correction ..! raise the level knob has no real shot your speakers ... all this for smooth it sounds like something progressive. What a compromise.

2 - The sudden changes are due to put in resonance of the pice and cancellations frequency drives in opposite phases. A position of some micro diffrent and you your in a hollow or a bump. But the poor, there is little nothing.

So having several measures APRS several places you can get a curve, average of the mean.

SOUND QUALITY

To beginners, I branch between the pre amp and the amp. Normal, I think it's the most empty.

Immediately, I tilt. there is a blast. not a small one ....
Objectively, this means the very low passages (and there is no need to test the CD to realize). Take a GOOD cd classsique with trs good recording. In a passage low, the breath takes over (and once you have it, you make a fixation)

So I tinker, test, change .... and I think I found the compromise solution (for what that manure salesman did not want me to take o 2 / 3 of its price APRS test only 2 weeks!)

I branch between CD and pre amp. => Attnu breath is because you have a low volume on the preamp and you does not amplify the blast.

Then I connected to the loop CONTRL (monitoring) of the preamp. The again, the breath is very attnu still does not amplify as you breath. And I let as a. .. Because I can turn it on or not the remote control.

However, there is always a problem that remains. Changes in corrections are not to be brutal. It takes small diffrence between each pots. There sometimes a kind of saturation effect that appears on some notes very dynamic recordings. The example that kills. The prludes OP 23 by Rachmaninov Erato Lugansky (I do not ad jur. The record is very "numrique" (long live vinyl!) And sometimes on high notes (Rachmaninov, right same), I feel that the speakers spit and saturate. I cut the DSP - this disparrait-...
To conclude with a positive note even when. Since I n'coute not only the classic, the DSP is nice to use boom boom! sometimes I make a delirium with a good reggae and the other, breath, I do not care just because you hear it. Sounds good with a good deal in the Medium and low as I like. So for the sound system in a loop monitoring, must see .... I must say that I use the DSP depending on what j'coute. Vinyl Classic = NO. In conventional CD (Save digital or analog) = NO, jazz, = a little, it dpend. In reggae rock pop and other genres that dfoulent = YES. In gnral I put it with a little delay for spacialisation this.

Note that a DSP does not like the youth radio ... notament NneRJ the Sky and a stick that I do not know what's surround, super stereo, generator LFE ... for correction in the lower additions of DSP + LFE = super serious too foullit.

OVERALL OPINION

My opinion is very clear and not clear at once. I would stick a 4 / 20 on the face BUT THE 8024 IS NOT A DSP APPARATUS FOR HIFI! It finally just be my mistake.

As discussed above, in stereo, Niet, in sound system, disco ... I do not know but I think it can boost circulation and lead a night. Far be it from me to criticize ide PA. APRS all the amps tubes are used by guitarists as audiophiles ... So respect.

To note, I e-mailed incendiary NRDS (the famous JH) to ask if avaut tumors and the ear, or he could release this (I do not quote) "quiet operation" "transparency" "drop in signal to noise" ... and did not approve of his Conlusion AT ALL. He did not rpondu. Since I no longer buy the NRDS.

It consists primarily of two devices in one measurement with graphic display and storage, signal processing (Simplified) equalizer with 31 bands and fixed anti feedback, delay etc.. But not the 2 together!

UTILIZATION

It is quite nice and working properly. I had bought the hand. I recommend not to apply too great a positive correction, saturation of a band appearing at least fast enough. By several measures and weighting MANUALLY (this has the advantage of putting his personal touch) and limiting the corrections up, it fills my needs hifi. ± It is easy to use without a PC. It does not adapt or all connections of all devices in HiFi and in some cases produces a breath very important. The measurements are difficult because no treatment and non-repeatability. The most unpleasant pops when setting on / off. This does not occur on the AVR745 that detects this and turns off the sound.

SOUND QUALITY

HiFi use. Breath reduced if proper connection. There can be interposed anywhere in the chain.

OVERALL OPINION

I IT CAN BE USED for 2 years. At this price, we can only recommend it!
It does not allow an automatic correction effective but there are few processors that are merely satisfactory on this point.
Convinced by the mark, I bought a DCX2496 for amplification with an active-Yamaha-AVR1400 of my B & W802s1 (see also the review) and DEQ2496 for the major, the 8024 will be used for surround sound or bass .. . to see or hear more!

Device while numrique with the following functions:

- 2x 31-band equalizer with 100 pRSET mmorisables
- Spectrum Analyzer
- Anti-Larcen
- Gnrateur pink noise and white noise
- Limiter
- Delay

It is 2 rack units


Level connections, it an input / output KLR symtrique double symtriques with jacks and a microphone between KLR measurement with power fantme.
In obtion it is possible to add an I / O on AES-EBU KLR to disable the analog input, the output remains active.

UTILIZATION

The use is relatively simple, for some functions but it is prfrable to consult the manual.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is fine for the price condition to use as an insert because the device work prfre its nominal level.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for at least 5 years mainly qualiseur, anti-Larcen my mind is too limited.
Before I had a qualiseur DSP8024 analog I replaced to no longer hear the crackling of the knobs ...
The quality RAPORT trs good price so I would say yes I would do definitely the choice.

(Originally written by Fsmax91/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
31-band stereo EQ

Digital signal processing (I believe the internal DSP works at 20 kHz instead of 44.1 or 48 kHz)

Optional AES/EBU connections

Behringer website: "The DSP8024 features a 31-band graphic EQ with a real-time analyzer and an Auto-Q function for automatic room measurement and correction plus three bands of parametric equalization. Further highlights include a peak limiter, an adjustable delay (up to 2.5 seconds), a noise gate and Behringer's renowned Feedback Destroyer."

UTILIZATION

I insert it between the mixer output and the sound card input to record hip-hop vocals. It allows me to boost certain frequencies (I have an old sound card).

I also connect it to the output of my sound card for monitoring.

SOUND QUALITY

Very surprising... It makes my monitoring system better. I find it sounds transparent and accurate.

It makes a very good job ^^

Even at low volumes. Depending on your system you should consider buying it.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a very good deal considering its current price. I've used it eight times. I haven't had a single problem (I only had to change the battery).
