## Description

From the manufacturer DEQ2496 Ultra-High Precision 24-Bit/96 kHz Equalizer, Analyzer, Feedback Destroyer and Mastering Processor Ultra-high resolution 24-bit/96 kHz mastering processor featuring 32/40-bit floating-point DSP technology Audiophile 24-bit/96 kHz A/D- and D/A converters offering 113 dB dynamic range 64 user memories for complete setups and/or individual module configurations Separate mic/line input with phantom power for RTA and Auto-EQ applications ULTRACURVE PRO DEQ2496 The DEQ2496 is a high-precision 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. Equalization. Dynamics. Feedback Correction. You can have it all with the DEQ2496. How about automatic FFT analysis with Auto EQ? We added that too. The DEQ2496 is a whole rack of ultra-flexible equalization options, dynamics and time-correction solutions, all designed to optimize your rig’s sound quality like no other single piece of processing gear. Consider the DEQ2496 your audio engineer’s Swiss Army Knife – here are a just few examples: Dual 31-band Graphic Equalizers (stereo linkable) Dual 31-band Virtual Paragraphic Equalizers (stereo linkable) Dual 10-band Parametric EQ’s per stereo side Dynamically-activated EQ Feedback Destroyer with Learning Mode Stereo Imager Compressor/Expander Limiter Digital Delay RTA/SPL/FFT Analyzer with Auto EQ function Dual 31-band Graphic Equalizers, 31-band Virtual Para-graphic Equalizers and 10-band Parametric Naturally, the DEQ2496 has a phase-neutral digital graphic EQ. But in addition, we’ve added a function that allows you to change the frequency bandwidths from 1/3, to as tight as 59/3. Or, if you prefer the old-school approach to variable bandwidth, we’ve included 10-bands of parametric filters that can be incrementally fine-tuned all the way down to 1/60 of an octave. Dynamically-Activated EQ Dynamic EQ (DEQ) 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. Feedback Destroyer with Learning Mode With the digital capabilities we’ve just listed, it’s easy to see why we were able to include a highly-effective Feedback Destroyer (FBQ) feature – it’s essentially a dynamically-activated parametric EQ that “watches” the whole frequency spectrum in 1∕60-octave bands and then instantly identifies and notches out feedback. FBQ can be run in AUTO mode, or in Single mode. We’ve also included a Learn mode that generates short audio pulses, raises their gain until feedback occurs, and then locks onto feedback-prone frequencies. For more than 20 years, we have made some of the world’s most acclaimed FBQ Feedback Elimination processors. Now you get this revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection System in every DEQ2496, so your sound system is always completely free from feedback. Utilizing an ultra-fast detection system, this ingenious circuitry helps you recognize and tame feedback frequencies immediately. Stereo Imager While usually considered a mastering technique, the ability to widen the stereo image can be useful in live sound work, too. The DEQ2496 Width processor provides control over Stereo Width (how clearly the two sides of the stereo image are separated from each other), Asymmetry (relative volume of left/right stereo signal), Rotation (panning of stereo + mono in the stereo image) and a multipart Shuffle function than can generate an additional low-frequency stereo width effect. Compressor/Expander and Limiter The DEQ2496 has a comprehensive set of dynamics processing tools that can be used as two independent channels or stereo linked. Everything you’d find on a dedicated compressor/expander is here, including variable ratios from 1:1.1 - 1:100, Attack times of 0 - 200 ms, 0 - 3 dB variable knee and 20 ms - 4 s Release times, all adjustable via a coarse/fine adjustment scale. The built-in separate Limiter features Threshold, Hold and Release functions. Digital Delay You can delay either the DEQ2496’s Main or Aux outputs from 0 - 300 ms, and process left and right channels independently – and not only can you specify the time delay in feet or meters, you can even instantly compensate for changes in the ambient temperature. RTA/SPL/FFT Analyzer with Auto EQ function The DEQ2496 features an FFT real time analyzer for precise graphic display of 61 frequency bands. You can monitor main or digital inputs and outputs, Aux/Digital Out, or a feed from an RTA microphone and display the results in a multitude of ways including funky retro VU meters. You get all of the usual peak/hold, display rate and scale features you would expect from a professional measurement tool, plus our user-definable AEQ (Auto EQ function), which allows you to analyze and adjust your system’s frequency response automatically (perfect for “roughing out” initial room adjustments). In Graphic EQ mode, you can choose between Uncorrected response, which shows the mutual influence of adjacent bands, or select True response to apply a specially developed algorithm that displays the actual results of the equalizer setting. Easy to Set Up and Use The DEQ2496 has balanced inputs and servo balanced outputs with gold-plated XLR connectors, stereo aux output, AES/EBU and S/PDIF inputs and XLR and optical output. Configuration is intuitive, with on-screen block diagram displays and you get a separate RTA mic/line input with phantom power, a professional wordclock input and MIDI connections for full remote control, as well as preset dumps and system updates. You can maintain up to 64 comprehensive user presets at a time and of course dump and load as needed. You can also save and recall individual modules such as DEQ, PEQ, Width or Dyn. These subsets of complete presets let you maintain most of a preset’s settings but vary a few (such as graphic EQ) without having to generate a whole new preset. Built Tough for the Road, Precise for the Studio The DEQ2496 features high-quality 24-bit/96 kHz A/D and D/A converters and two high-performance 32/40-bit floating-point digital signal processors for incredible sonic resolution and 113 dB dynamic range. The internal switch-mode power supply assures maximum flexibility (100-240 V~), noise-free audio, superior transient response, lowest possible power consumption and freedom from power surge damage. Feature Galore Quite frankly, the DEQ2496 is Behringer’s best multi-function processor in the pro audio industry. If you only have one thing in your magic bag of tricks, shouldn’t it be the DEQ2496? Try one out today, and you’ll never leave home without it!

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.
