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?

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.

Tvad...You don't need to select the noise as input. Doing the EQ thing automatically turns it on. The input for EQ is the mic (obviously).

OK. Regardless, when I initiate the Auto EQ sequence, the DEQ2496 gives me a warning that the pink noise ambient level is too low, and no measurement is taking place. It's as if the mic is not plugged in.

There is a noise gain on the smaller dials. There is also a RTA mic input level in the utilities menu, mine is set to +15 volts. Be sure to place your mic as closely as possible to where your ears would be when you are in your listening seat.
I can't wait to hear what you think of the room correction.

I have set the noise gain, and the +15 volt condernser mic according to the manual. The mic is at the listening position.
