Behringer DEQ2496 HELP


After reading the raves about this product, I finally bought one along with the matching microphone tonite. Put in my system, eager to try room correction. The first 2 attmepts produced some curves that I wasn't crazy about, but seemed plausioble. Now, all it does is push all the bands above 125 all the way to maximum boost, and all the bands below 125 to maximum cut. When displaying the RTA of the pink noise, there is nop more htan a 15 dB range between the highest and lowest levels on the curve (as if that were small!)Also, one of the primary reasons I bought it was for equalizing low frequency room problems, yet it suggests htat anyuthing below 100Hz not be included in the auto EQ.
Does anyone know why it is coming up with such odd equalization curves, even though it is reading the data, which doesn't look so bad? Also, how bad is the product at low frequencies?

Its a while since I played with one of these, so I cannot recall how you might have the problem you mention but the unit is tricky to master till you play a bit and read that manual a few times. Perhaps the setting for the mic is wrong. The reason I posted is to say the unit works fine below 100Hz. You just need to be careful to do the measurements when there are no spurious low frequencies around - such as traffic noise etc, and take measurements in a few different spots in case the one you chose was a node or anti-node. The only problem below 100Hz is simply that a quick auto-calibration can give you strange results.
