Behringer DEQ2496 Digital 24-Bit/96 kHz EQ/RTA Mastering Processor Review

Behringer DEQ2496 Digital 24-Bit/96 kHz EQ/RTA Mastering Processor Feature

• Ultra-high resolution processor for all EQ, RTA and dynamic applications, especially for PA and audiophile mastering
• 4 concurrently selectable EQ modules (31-band graphic EQ, 10-band parametric EQ, Feedback Destroyer plus 3 Dynamic EQs per stereo channel)
• Flexible compressor/expander function with peak limiter per stereo channel as well as additional stereo imager and stereo delay for delay line applications
• Unique VPQ (Virtual Paragraphic EQ) option allows parametric control of graphic Eqs
• Ultra-high resolution 61-band real-time FFT analyzer with additional auto EQ function for room and loudspeaker equalization
• The ultra-high resolution processor for all EQ, RTA and dynamic applications, especially for PA and audiophile mastering.

The deq2496 is a highprecision digital 24-bit/ 96 khz eq/rta mastering processor, ideal for sophisticated live sound trouble-shooting or audiophile mastering. whether you’re putting the finishing touches on recorded material or creating an optimal live sound for a multi-way pa, the deq2496 is built to provide meticulous control. alization? dynamics? feedback correction? yes, yes, yes. you can have it all with the deq2496. automatic fft analysis with auto eq? we added that too. the deq2496 is a whole rack of flexible equalization, dynamics and time correction functions designed to fix problems and generally optimize sound quality. naturally the deq2496 has phase-neutral digital graphic eq…but in addition we’ve added a function that allows you to change the bandwidth of each frequency from standard 1/3 to as much as 59/3. or, if you prefer the old-school approach to variable bandwidth, we’ve included 10-band parametrics that can be fine-tuned in increments down to 1/60 of an octave. dynamic eq automatically raises or lowers a defined frequency range based on volume level. it’s literally a combination of an equalizer (with frequency center and bandwidth controls) and a dynamics processor (with attack, release, threshold and ratio parameters). deq opens up a world of both creative mastering and pa problem solving possibilities. we’ve given you total control with multiple filter types including bandpass mode. and of course you can store deq settings for recall at any time manually or via midi. you can delay either the deq2496’s main or aux outputs anywhere from 0 to 300ms and can process left and right channels independently. not only can you specify time delay in feet or meters but simultaneously compensate for ambient temperature which affects sound speed!
