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?

From my understanding, AEQ will set the frequncies to whatever your target curve is. AEQ with Room Correction will slightly roll of the highs & boost the lows.

No doubt someone will correct me if I'm mistaken.

I'd also like to know what all of the other function do. They may be more for professional use.

Gentlemen, I was planning to experiment with the DEQ2496's DAC, and also use it in the Tape Loop, but it appears this is not possible? Am I reading the instructions wrong? My understanding at the moment is that one input can only be selected, and therefore I have to choose between the SPIDF (from my transport) or the Analog Inputs (from my preamp).

You will have to choose your input path. I believe you will output analog and digital simultaneously no matter which input you choose. By the way what do you think of the DACs?

Both inputs can be hooked up. You select which to use via the I/O screen.

Gotcha.

Trying to use the RTA. Mic is connected, and selected at the I/O screen. Pink noise is selected as the source input signal.
Auto is selected at the AEQ screen, as is Room Correction. When I hit the start button, and when the Pink Noise starts, it's plenty loud in my room, but there's no signal being picked up (I get a warning that the pink noise level is too low.)

Help, please.
