| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow I posted a review on the DEC2496. It worked so well for the front channels of my multichannel system, that I bought a second one for the rears.IMHO, this unit is an example of how pro sound equipment, at reasonable cost, is rapidly approaching hig... | |
| Is SACD a dead format? Anything Redbook can do, DVDA can do better. Because it's the same darned PCM format but with more bits and faster sampling. This is not to say that every DVDA is recorded and mastered well enough for the improvement to be evident. SACD comparison... | |
| Help - I've got an Ocean in my Phono Stage Does anyone remember the Judy Collins recording of "Farewell to Tiwathie" (or some such spelling). That cut was one of the best for a matrix multichannel system. The background to her unaccompanied voice is recorded whale "songs", and the whales s... | |
| Balanced to RCA or Opposite Rwwear...If you demo'd the DEQ2496 it would sell itself. Most Behringer equipment is aimed at the live music pro sound market, but this unit has serious audiophile applications. | |
| Help - I've got an Ocean in my Phono Stage An open circuit on the input to the phono preamp may permit noise. Try shorting the input to the preamp, and see if what the noise level is. If the noise persists the phono preamp is faulty. If it goes away, recheck the phono pickup wiring. If sea... | |
| Colorizing The Sound The link doesn't work. A picture of the DK Design amp that I found in a review shows the back panel with jumpers from pre out to power in. | |
| Balanced to RCA or Opposite Rwwear...The DEQ2496 detects whether the connection is balanced or unbalanced, and adjusts gain accordingly. Thus, for example, I can use unbalanced in and balanced out and still have unity gain through the unit. By the way, it is also possible to... | |
| Balanced to RCA or Opposite As suggested in the other thread, your neatest way to hook up the DEQ2496 would be to get two 2-channel unbalanced interconnects with RCA on one end and XLR on the other. One cable will have male XLRs and the other female XLRs.I see from a photo o... | |
| Colorizing The Sound Sputniks...1...I think I made the manual download from the website of WWW.samedaymusic.com which is where I bought mine.2...The connectors on the Behringer are XLR type, but these can be used for single ended electrical interface (as well as for b... | |
| Colorizing The Sound Sputniks...Did you download the owner's manual? The DEQ2496 can be controlled as either a 31 band graphic or 7 band parametric equalizer. (And it can do other clever things that you might have fun playing with).The input and output can be either b... | |
| Colorizing The Sound Equalizers today are not your father's equalizers. All the talk about degrading the signal is left-over myth from long ago. Rather than argue with people whose minds are made up, I suggest that you simply try one and see for yourself. Personally I... | |
| Sound Insulation- how much can it help? Retrofitting sound isolation into an existing structure (especially a rented one) is futile. However, if sound isolation is designed into the building from the start the result can be very satisfactory. The prime examples are hotels at airports, w... | |
| Equipment Set-up Recommendations? The whole idea of a linear tracking arm is that there is no (zero) sideforce (skating force). Vibration should of course be avoided, but if the arm is working right it should not jump grooves. I suggest that you carefully check leveling. (And fix ... | |
| Concert stage layout -- who made who? Sean...Your recording approach reminds me of scrambled eggs, as opposed to sunny side. I gather that by your arangement of musicians, and some judicious mixing, you aim to create a "soundstage" when the two channel recording is played back. OK, I ... | |
| Regarding supertweeters The wavelength of 20KHz sound is 0.66 inch. Therefore there is no need to carefully align the supertweeter and the tweeter for phasing reasons. Slight changes of listener position will affect the relative phasing of multiple drivers, so there is n... |
