Overview

Affordable mastering and PA tweaking.

The Behringer Ultracurve Pro DEQ2496 brings immense power to mastering and live sound applications. With four concurrently selectable EQ modules—including 31-band graphic, 10-band parametric, Feedback Destroyer and 3 dynamic EQs per channel—you can sculpt any tone with surgical precision. Balanced XLR and AES/EBU connectivity ensure noise-free operation in professional settings.

Shape Your Sound With Four Powerful EQ Modules

At the heart of the DEQ2496 are four flexible EQ modules to refine your tone. The 31-band graphic EQ delivers fine control over the frequency spectrum. The 10-band parametric EQ lets you tune specific ranges with adjustable Q bandwidth. The Feedback Destroyer eliminates problematic feedback frequencies. While the triple Dynamic EQs provide compression and expansion based on frequency, for dynamic sculpting. With so much versatility, you can create any tonal palette imaginable.

Analyze in Real-Time With Integrated RTA

Visualizing your EQ curve is easy with the integrated 61-band real-time analyzer. See problem resonances and feedback in an instant. Watch how adjustments impact your frequency response and ensure consistent tone between performances. The RTA provides an intuitive graphical interface, for quick and accurate equalization.

Hear More Detail With 24-bit/96 kHz Processing

To preserve audio fidelity, the DEQ2496 employs 24-bit converters with a 96 kHz sampling rate. This ultrahigh resolution captures subtle nuances and delivers exceptional dynamic range. Precision filters and algorithms operate in the digital domain, for smooth, artifact-free processing. Experience your sound as it was meant to be heard, without harsh digital edge.

Tour-Grade Connectivity for any Application

Equipped with XLR and AES/EBU digital connectivity, the DEQ2496 integrates seamlessly into professional studio and live rigs. Balanced inputs reject interference, while servo-balanced outputs ensure noise-free signal transmission. With comprehensive metering, preset storage and MIDI control, the DEQ2496 puts immense processing power right at your fingertips.
