Behringer Ultracurve Pro DEQ2496 24-Bit Mastering Processor 2010s - Standard

This is a mint condition unit, with manual and power cord. The DEQ2496 Ultracurve Pro from Behringer is a two-channel mastering multiprocessor designed for both live and studio applications. In addition to the 24-bit/96 kHz A/D-D/A converters, the unit offers a variety of graphic, parametric, and dynamic EQs as well as a real-time analyzer with an Auto-EQ function. It also provides dynamics processors including a compressor, expander, and peak limiter, along with a complete set of analog and digital interface options.

How about automatic FFT analysis with Auto EQ? It's in there. The DEQ2496 is a whole rack of ultra-flexible equalization options, plus 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 EQ Options Naturally, the DEQ2496 has a phase-neutral digital graphic EQ. But in addition, Behringer has 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, they'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 all these digital capabilities, it’s easy to see why Behringer 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. Also included is 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, Behringer has 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 ultrafast detection system, this ingenious circuitry helps you recognize and tame feedback frequencies immediately. LEDs on the associated EQ frequency-band fader illuminate, showing you at a glance which fader to lower to overcome the feedback; it doesn’t get much easier. Stereo Imager While usually considered a mastering technique, the ability to widen the stereo image can be useful in live sound work, too.
