Review: A Must Have For Your PA Rack. - What a real good peice of gear to have in your PA rack forthe price. I paid more for ack in 2017. For the most part guitarist, bassist, drummers, keys and vocalist have a sound we like. Getting that sound to sound good in every room is the goal. IMO it takes more than the a GOOD ear, standard EQ tweaks, a PA and the right overheads subs. Bands/musicians tend to over EQ there sound unintentionally and frequencies xlash and cancel each other out. The sound guy compensates with his mix, its like multiplying and dividing instead of adding and subtracting. Some rooms are bigger, some smaller, some have a stage, higher ceilings, some with sheet rock or acoustic tiling, theres wood panel walls or standard sheet rock. Though experience sound guys can get a decent sound not every band has a sound guy handy. Most bands these days manage there own sound. This is were the Ultracurve comes in. Dont be fooled by the low price. I thought I was pretty good at mixing my bands sound until I installed the DEQ2496 in my PA to help speed things up as well. When I mixed my first few rooms with it, I got that smile you get when you know it sounds real good. Thats all I expect now at every gig and so does everyone else. Get a good measuring mic! The Ultracurves Auto Eq analyzer use white noise frequencys to eq the room flat which is what you want to start with. The band brings there sound up and you tweak it from there if need be. The auto eq analyzer is one part, there's the compressor, expander limiter, parametric EQ, feedback destroyer, stereo imaging, dynamic compressor, time correction solutions everything you need to master your end sound. There is a learning curve but nothing that good is ever that simple at first. There's YouTube demo videos to help you, so watch, read and follow instructions and be patient. Practice a few setups in your home or studio. Once you learn how to use your DEQ2496 save those gig settings for the next time or use the settings for similar rooms. It's all worth it IMO if your serious about your bands sound. The DEQ2496 will give you an edge and get club owners to notice that you sound better than the other bands. Good Luck...
Review: Overpriced, defective out of the box and horrible quality... - Behringer is working overtime to earn the title of the "overpriced-garbage-flea-market-brand” of “pro audio” by ensuring these units fail before they’re even used. I should have paid attention to the frustration in all those terrible reviews. Based on the countless online complaints, this unit is a cancer—an absolute slap in the face to Behringer’s customers. How lazy and arrogant does a company have to be not to secure internal components so their products can at least survive standard shipping? Just ask Behringer—picture them them mocking you and laughing all the way to the bank with your money. Right out of the box, my unit had an intermittent LCD and would randomly power off and reboot at the slightest vibration. Clearly, it can’t even withstand normal shipping conditions, so I don’t plan to reorder it. I considered fixing it myself, but that would void the warranty, and I don’t want to end up with a $300 brick that has a multitude of other issues. If Behringer can’t even make a unit that survives shipping without parts coming loose or breaking, it’s not worth the time or money to repair. There will only be more hidden issues down the road. Yes, it does have good sound quality—when it works, which is rare. But it’s got an inexcusable, cheap, tiny LCD that might have been “cool” in the ’90s, and the interface is poorly designed, with a small knob for selecting EQ bands seemingly made for tiny hands. Adjusting it band-by-band is pure torture, especially knowing they could have put a larger screen but chose the $5 LCD option for a +$300 unit. I’m just going to use SigmaDSP’s 1701 platform instead. It might take more effort to set up the board and programmer, but it’s far more reliable and much easier to adjust through SigmaStudio on Windows.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this automaticly adjust the frequencies?**
A: Yes, it will, but you wear an omnidirecional microphone (like ECM 8000) together.It is not so easy to do. There are so many adjusts, menus and options. If you are an advanced user, it should be easier. See the user manual. Best regards!

**Q: Can 1/4" aux outs exactly mirror XLR main outs?**
A: Yes it can in fact I have a second amp on the aux channel

**Q: Does this take calibration files (like .frd) to compensate for the frequency response of what you're pairing it with (even if it's the ECM8000 mic)?**
A: That’s a great question. I dont know that it does as it has no usb or sd car slot.

**Q: If i use digital in/out and put this eq between my bd plyr & 7.2 ch avr, it will equalize l&r main, but will encoding for surround channels be lost?**
A: if you have a pre pro you can put it between that and the Amp. for R & L or any two channels. a logical use would be to have more control over R& L in a stereo listening mode. allowing the simplicity of one button to effectively remove it from the system when in any movie mode. you can have true hi fi and home theater in the same system , you could even route the R&L channel to a separate pair of speakers and amp or amps to use your pre pro for a completely separate sound system IE DJ OR Audiophile listening. it never makes sence when some music listener says not to use and eq or tone control. the original engineer would tell you to flatten the room first then ad your improvements  , one thing im not clear of is if it has a sub out and corespondent bass management. when i look at mine i will update this but there are a few pieces of pro gear that would be perfectly suited for audiophile use if there was less pier pressure not to. there is no logic in this artificial  fear. i noticed this company did something unique and intriguing. especially with the invention of locking RCA connectors , they use RCA 1/4 phone RTS and XLR connections suggesting they expect the consumer to use those units in any environment. good listening you will thank yourself later

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing set of audio tools for the price
*by T***Y on January 20, 2012*

Had this for a while now, testing and using mostly in an audiophile stereo setup. Was a bit skeptical from other reviews of this unit (heat issues and such). But Behringer hasn't upgraded it with a new version for nearly a decade now. For me, it seems to work amazingly well. I am using it in a full digital configuration from a computer to DAC to digital input on DEQ. Also input/interconnected with an ART DPS II valve mic preamp and other various components including Roland mulitrack recorder/mixer. Has a very small rack size which doesnt take up much space. Personally, i've had no issues with heat on mine, and it is even in a partially enclosed rack stacked with other components. Wonder if a hardware or firmware issue has been made with this unit since its introduction, or if there are manufacturing issues between units, as i dont wont to oppose anyone else's experience. I do not however use it in a heavy use for extended periods, but only for home use in a small "listening" room for music enjoyment and occasional recording (its not on the road in a heavy live gig function or such). My sound is output into a high-end t-amplifier to custom build tower speakers. The DEQ works well for analyzing/adjusting room acoustics. A measurement mic is a great addition to this unit. With all the built-in processors including 31 bands EQ per channel (graphic EQ) as well as parametric eq, compressor, expander, etc. you really cant beat the price! I also hear no distortion or noise floor introduced in the path (am using digital input, but have tried analog inputs with no noticable noise either). Layout use is a bit confusing at first, but you get used to it. Could use an upgrade on that as well as the display info graphics, but for the price i cant really find much to dispute with it.
