2. OPERATION
The following chapter will familiarize you with the operation of your BEHRINGER ULTRA-CURVEPRO. It will
provide you with the basic understanding of how to obtain the desired results and should encourage you to
experiment with the DSP8024. Please bear in mind that the technical specifications of a unit may determine
its limits, but the skill of the audio engineer determines how much use can be made from it. So do not hesitate
to play with the unit, just like a musician does with an instrument, in order to explore the full functionality of
your ULTRA-CURVEPRO.
The BEHRINGER ULTRA-CURVEPRO is a flexible, universally applicable sound processing and measure-
ment device, whose operations may be divided into two basic areas; Signal Processor (Equalizer, Limiter) or
Real Time Analyzer (RTA).
+ For this reason, you always operate in either EQ or RTAmode. Simultaneous operation of
both is not possible!
When the ULTRA-CURVEPRO is switched from one mode to the other, the outputs will be briefly muted.
2.1 EQmode
2.1.1 Operating the Graphic Equalizer
Upon switching on the ULTRA-CURVEPRO you will be presented either the main EQUALIZER (EQ), or
ANALYZER (RTA) window. By pressing the EQ or RTA key, the ULTRA-CURVEPRO will switch from RTA-
into EQmode and vice versa.
The display shows a 31-band GRAPHIC EQUALIZER, along with, slightly separated on the right hand side, the
main fader for overall level control. On the left are the pictograms for the softkeys, which are used to open the
sub-menus.

The selected controller is shown highlighted in the display. The vertical cursor keys are used to adjust levels,
the horizontal keys to select the controller to be adjusted. When you depress a cursor key, an information
window appears showing the selected frequency, the level of boost or attenuation applied to each of the two
channels, as well as the program number and program name.
