## Description

Behringer DEQ2496 Ultra Curve Processor : desertcart.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Review: Great piece of equipment. - Purchased for use in small demo studio. A few years ago Behringer used to be AKA for cheap and nasty but lots of "nice" flashing lights. Times have changed. Behringer's keen pricing has obviously let them achieve some volume and economies of scale despite the tough economy, which they've clearly ploughed back into R&D. This unit is extremely easy to understand and configure. Feature packed, yet easy to navigate menus. I place the unit between desk and monitors using the digital s/p DIF. It is low noise and input/output levels are fully controlable and accurate. The RTA is great for analysing / autocorrecting the listening space and for tweaking different monitor sets, although budget about another 40GBP for the linear measurement mic (sold separately). (The mic is also amazingly linear considering it is around a tenth the price of competing products.) Only minor complaint would be no soft(i.e. muted) shutdown/ startup, which leads to pops and cracks on power-up/down, so a little care is needed to protect amps/ speakers. You can't complain at this price level. A really useful piece of equipment in a semi-pro set-up. Well done B!
Review: This is a good product when it works - I have been using one of these in various PA setups for quite a while now. For the price it is an incredibly powerful piece of DSP processing equipment. The user interface is excellent, making it really easy to change configuration on the fly. This is really handy for live sound. It isn't so great for studio work unless you are using the digital IO. The analogue inputs and outputs are a bit noisy for recording, but ok for live work in medium size venues. Now for the bad stuff... I have owned 3 of these units over the years and two out of three broke! There is a ribbon cable connecting the IO PCB and the processing PCB together inside this unit and it has a huge flat ferrite on it. If the unit is used in a portable rig, this ferrite bounces around and causes the ribbon table to fail. So its great for an installed rig which will never move, you get a huge number of features for your money! However if you are building a portable rig, steer clear of this unit!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this device work within a network?**
A: Not 100% sure what you mean but I think you want a signal from your NAS to be processed by the DEQ before the network picks it up? In a word, no. The DEQ has no RJ45 out but it does have optical and analogue out ( post processing ). The best you can do is run an optical or XLR cable from the DEQ to the optical/XLR in on your next system thereby utilising the DEQ processed output; optical and XLR are both capable of carrying signals long-distance without local interference - hope this helps.

**Q: Interested only in listening to digital music through a set of high end earphones connected to a headphone amp. Overkill or worth it?**
A: Overkill - Its really used to EQ room acoustics. Your headphones should be matched to your amp, so really wouldn't help.It works by flooding the room with white noise and problem frequencies with the acoustics can be identified via the microphone .

**Q: Can you just use this as a graphic equaliser and does it display output frequencies in real time ?**
A: In answer to the first part of your question, yes it s intended use is a graphic equaliser, it's a digital version of a conventional analogue graphic equaliser where the filter frequency sliders appear on the display and can be set just as the physical ones on analogue version can be.  Not quite sure what you mean by displaying frequencies in real time, but if by that you mean like an FFT display of frequencies, yes it does.

**Q: can i use spidf in from my dac then through equalizer then spidf out back to my dac**
A: The DEQ2496 has S/PDIF in and out, but it also has its own built-in DAC. If you prefer to use your own external DAC you might connect your signal source to the DEQ2496 input (S/PDIF or XLR) and the DEQ2496 S/PDIF output to the input of your external DAC. It's not clear why your external DAC has an S/PDIF 'output' at all, but such a connection is likely to come after the DAC's input in the signal path, so your planned connection sounds like it would be looping the DEQ2496 output back to its own input. Maybe refine your question?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ buy one!
*by T***S on 1 February 2013*

I wanted this as a mastering tool for home recording projects, but also as an EQ for my system. I use a pro amp driven by the preamp out (before the tone stack) of an old integrated. Its a great amp, but has an overly strident midrange. So, kill two birds with one stone - set up so that I can ensure recordings sound good after mixing (I have a CD recorder) in my usual listening space whose characteristics I am used to, and give me a really good EQ to tweak the sound of my old pro amp. There is quite a steep learning curve with this unit. I confess to not reading the instructions properly initially, to the detriment of my speakers. Be careful that levels are properly set if you intend to use the auto EQ feature. Pink noise kills tweeters stone dead. Others have gone into more detail , but you have a choice of parametic or graphic EQ There is a dynamic EQ so you can change the parameters with volume (say more bass at low volumes, lessening as the volume rises) The stereo expander is a nice little touch as are the compression tools. If you use a trs to RCA lead you can connect the aux out to a spare input on the hi fi and listen to what the optical digital out sounds like - usefull if you are mastering, as you can A-B between your project and a "target" recording whose sound you are aiming to emulate.
