All user reviews of 5/5 for the Behringer Ultracurve Pro DEQ2496

Essential material, DCX2496 renders multiple services, equalizer, compressor, limiter, anti feedback, analyze converter ... the list is long.

UTILIZATION

At first, ergonomics may seem confusing, but after a period of discovery, in reality controls are easy to access and the display is clear and well organized, given the size of the box.
For well maitiser, must already know what we will do many of these functions.

SOUND QUALITY

Many functions in a box 1 U is an achievement, especially at this price.
The overall quality of the functions is not critical for me. Used AES3 I freed and successive DAC, its losses, its distortions and background noise to pass.
Functions cover almost all needs of sound processing.
The record is worthy of higher-end brands, more expensive, not necessarily better.

OVERALL OPINION

After two years of use, this material has proven itself and brings me satisfaction. Incomparable price and multiple functions make it an essential material. Would recommend without reservation

View previous posts and the characteristics of the device.
I use it in analog I / O between my mixer and amplifier.

SNR of more than 110dB. If only Behringer PSU made a quieter, the SNR would surely be even lower since 24 bits/96KHz which is capable beast.

UTILIZATION

The manual was not provided. I downloaded the Behringer site.
I do not have any particular problem for use. I had read how to use it on different forums that deal with the DEQ2496.

SOUND QUALITY

No alteration of the observed. As it remains below 0.5 / 1db peak of the THD is very low.

OVERALL OPINION

self EQ is stunning and allows to linearize the response of the speaker and to adapt them to the listening room. FBD neutralises the resonance frequency. The top!

Value / Price unbeatable
I would do this choice

Main functions:
Graphic Equaliser
Equalizer paramtrique
Filters (anti feedback, rumble etc ...)
limiter / compressor / expander
Pan / Image width stro
etc ...
Connectivity symtrique / asymtrique in / out via XLR
auxiliary output jacks in supplmentaire 6.35
numrique connection in / out via S / PDIF or AES / EBU
Connection midi in / trough / out
Coax connection in wordclock

Résumé in many functions and connectivity complte (just missing a connection in / out jack in complte 6.35).

UTILIZATION

The device is simple enough to use from the moment we have a minimum of knowledge. For others it must be rfrer the manual (available online at Behringer) that could be clearer in his explanations.
The software is flashable through the behringer. The updates are hassle free over-the afternoon.

SOUND QUALITY

Question sounds, frankly, I'm surprised enjoyable. The circuits are particulirement neutral (AKM converters are certainly something). Provided they do not ask the moon, it provides simple solutions when it comes to rsoudre a problem too complicated rgler. Considering the features, it is more orient sound mixing studio that, but given both its transparency, it can also be used in home studio as complment.
I also work as seen on hi-fi equalizer or as a converter on CD players.
Personally, I use it as an insert on my console tascam, and frankly in this crneau price it has no competitor.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for 1 year. For now I am quite pleased.
What j'apprcie most:
- The paramtrique equalizer that allows you to select the bandwidth and install filters.
- The memory 60 users
- The soft flashable
- The principle of the box tools "all in one"
What j'apprcie the least:
- A small bug in a software compressor functions (the software does not keep in memory the SETTING THE "release"). It seems that the pb has disappeared in the latest version of the software but I have not had time to to download.
Fawn any compression eh .....

In résumé without replacing the device DDIS professionals trs (trs and Chres), a "small" unit "do everything right" both transparent and effective

Regrettable that there is only XLR connectors, m'enfin ... The rest is pretty impressive.

UTILIZATION

As always, you have to field trials to understand the functions and operation of the BTE. Then, the manual will (or not) to assimilate and discovering the dtails, subtleties and surprises.

SOUND QUALITY

Then the tape I am! I have here a beast that has a lot to please me. Spectral analysis in real time, such a global signal (mix) but also and especially on any signal between treat! Includes a microphone signal with or without food fantme! Apart from the magnitude and heat lamps, this unit is not envy a pre-amp far more expensive. If I tell you that there is a bypass for more function ... The device offers, in addition to a compressor-limiter with input gain, threshold and ratio (1:1.1 to 1:100!) Providing a complete treatment of strophonie, playing on asymtrie the rotation and in particular, hyper useful for finalization. There is also
The EQ, which I use before attacking the mixer allows me to "chop" the sounds of any kind. There is available a 5-band legalization paramtrique ENTIRELY! The action focuses on frquences ranging from 20 hertz (...) 20 kHz, as desired. With the move with ease incremented two possibilities: from 1 / 6 octave or 1 / 60 octave increments. You can also Determines the bandwidth (from 1 / 10 ... 10 octaves) and the slope of 6db 12db in shelving. The gain ranges from-15dB + 15dB. There are low-cut filters and cut up, too paramtrables!
In addition, all custom settings, once known and can be mmorisables are reminders will. Last but not least, the meter menu allows you to view the signal line as peak / rms or (gnial) as two virtual analog VU meters .... etc..

OVERALL OPINION

I have the unit since 1 1 / 2 year but I "Discoveries" for 48 hours.
It is a rvlation. And I'm not the kind of rave. I have other devices of the type of treatment pro DDP DBX, DBX Quantum, etc.. But I am the MDUS!
I feel that many musicians spend the ct gold watch, because this device reclassified from performance unheard condition to bother dbusquer opportunities, countless . As I am a composer and arranger with catches mainly acoustic but mostly synthse (by doubling or even tripling two bass sounds for example) I'm trying to make me a sound-processing library. For my ease in my library I EHJV E-mu seems to be what sets the most powerful (a batsman does not come into the studio with 4 sets of battery DIFFERENT ...) to terms of drums, basses, guitars, etc ... and I treat them once and for all, with her by his ULTRACURVE give and I recall the treatment that I ds rutilise the same sound. Once the library is, just check your records.
The price of the device is drisoire compared to the possibilities. You could buy one!

I use it fairly intensively for 2 months for the live sound. But it is an upgrade of the first ULTRACURVE since I use the Behringer has released (almost 10 years of loyal service).

Compared to all first model (which ignores dj rvolutionnaire enough in its day for its price, even if I bought double the price of the current!) The trs evolution is clear, self EQ works correctly and intelligently.

UTILIZATION

Diffrent The possibilities are very easy to ACCS, trs and menus are clear (once you understand their principle).

The manual is quite well done and trs comprhensible (adj used especially when the old models) and was soon in hand despite its enormous potential.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it in live sound.

tailgating with pink noise and mic Behringer ECM8000 heel in a single location of the prs rgy.
In fact you should average the measurements in many places, but I never have time to do so.
Registration rsultat. Lgres few alterations during show, certainly due to the fact that I had no way divided doses. Renregistrement of rglage DEFINITIONS.

Since then, I return often in the same places and I recall the prcedents calibrations.

For one of the previous ones advisers who prfre return a graphic qualiseur usual, one small question: how do you do for rgler?

I've never seen a professional sound engineer who knows a rgler qualo otherwise than pifomtre or feeling.
Pink noise, heel and micro procdure Auto EQ, it's not rglage is a complete and accurate calibration of Systm distribution according to the acoustics of the place prcise o we are.
There is a world of diffrence between the calibration done by ULTRACURVE and trs rglages approximate that can be effectus "ear".

OVERALL OPINION

This device seems to be an essential tool for sound engineer: it helps to have a clean and clear even in the room acoustics the most bizarre.

I'll buy a 2nd for more flexibility, and may be one day I will also return on each conductor as a return well qualis generates a lot less Larsen qualo return without or with rgl qualo ear.
In addition, the feedback is frquent on returns that radiate easily through the microphones as he disappears from the faade Systm is when the heel and a very flat curve.
Too bad this does not remove the ULTRACURVE rverbration rooms, but this function hlas yet invented.

I use it mainly to correct the default in my pice. So I use the analysis and correction in real time (RTA).

For the rest, many give a clear view of the possibilities of this tight little machine (dynamic, meter, Stereo, etc ...)

UTILIZATION

Getting Started nickel.
User manual (paper, in French) is really trs simple read, its application even easier.
Plug & play, honest.

Moreover you can download any M - J firmware, if necessary.

SOUND QUALITY

My concern, in my HS is that my monitor speakers are posing on my work surface, pliers towards the listener, but even when against the wall.
Above, there are Tagrera jutting out of 30 cms (the o there my rack effect), among others.

No way to install my HS otherwise, even if I have a pice dedicates to.

Obviously, therefore, the worst place for monitoring speakers. I know.
So I had to remove something qque standard bump in the bass that masked all costs.

Arm of the manual, the ECM8000 measurement microphone (always Behringer), install a walk to my place will cost you, I start self-EQ (although careful calibration of the measurement microphone if you don ' not use the prconis by behringer. For the latter, the calibration is rgl default).

Automatically, the DEQ2496 first analyzes the background noise of the pice and sends pink noise, analysis and cre an EQ curve according to any a. Remains more that a test case as connate that well, and polish by hand ditions of the EQ, save for possibly return as and APRS time and resave more ...

Like magic, my hump between 100 and 125 Hz has disappeared ...

OVERALL OPINION

Quality-price ratio patant, the DEQ, by using pure fixed home studio, saved me a big worry.
Now is the EQ DEFINITIONS up, my pice is correct, my sound does not change.

As a bonus, I saw a beautiful multi-band-nitre with plenty of options to make rich.

So 20/20.

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

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
http://www.behringer.com/DEQ2496/index.cfm?lang=FRE

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)

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 ...

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!!)
