Behringer ULTRA-CURVEPRO DEQ2496 User Manual

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
nishing 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? 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
exible equalization, dynamics and
time correction functions designed to
x problems and generally optimize
sound quality.
