Drubin...I agree. I think that the problem is partly due to the manual being a translation from German, but mostly because it is written for pro sound people who are pretty savy, and explanations which would be helpful for the average audiophile are omitted.
Precisely. Behringer appears to assume the majority of users are already proficient with how to shape sound, and users know how the adjustment parameters function. The manual basically explains which modules/button operate the various parameters.
Now I fully understand Drubin's desire for "DEQ2496 for Dummies".
To fully understand the capabilities of this unit, I believe one needs a course in professional sound production.
BTW, it seems to me the DYN module might provide the ideal EQ scenario for "recognizing" and attenuating typically offensive frequencies in a fluid manner...i.e. those frequencies responsible for "hard" sounding piano, or "honky" saxophone or "brassy" trumpet. Just a hunch.
