Behringer Ultra-Curve Pro DSP8024

(Originally written by Fsmax91/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
31-band stereo EQ

Digital signal processing (I believe the internal DSP works at 20 kHz instead of 44.1 or 48 kHz)

Optional AES/EBU connections

Behringer website: "The DSP8024 features a 31-band graphic EQ with a real-time analyzer and an Auto-Q function for automatic room measurement and correction plus three bands of parametric equalization. Further highlights include a peak limiter, an adjustable delay (up to 2.5 seconds), a noise gate and Behringer's renowned Feedback Destroyer."

UTILIZATION

I insert it between the mixer output and the sound card input to record hip-hop vocals. It allows me to boost certain frequencies (I have an old sound card).

I also connect it to the output of my sound card for monitoring.

SOUND QUALITY

Very surprising... It makes my monitoring system better. I find it sounds transparent and accurate.

It makes a very good job ^^

Even at low volumes. Depending on your system you should consider buying it.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a very good deal considering its current price. I've used it eight times. I haven't had a single problem (I only had to change the battery).

Multifunction Digital Equalizer:
- Graphical equalizer 31 band
- Parametric equalizer
- Feedback suppressor
- Spectrum analyzer in real time (with automatic correction system of the equalizer)
- Delay, limiter, gate, light meter.

For the rest see manufacturer website.


USE

The use is relatively simple. Possibility to lock changing settings password.
The manual is clear, no worries on that.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is very good, but it is limited to 44.1 or 48kHz.


NOTICE GLOBAL

Cel made several years that I use. He served in the sound system, home studio, and now in stereo in my living room
He does his job, and he has a nice look!
Only BMOL: 2 units high is a bit bulky (however it is very light), not among numriques of series, you must obtain an optional card to have e / s aes / ebu.
In short good machine, alas a little Exceeds (I also owns his replacement, the DEQ2496, which for once is when even more complete and compact!)

good camera, especially for Efficiency

UTILIZATION

the configuration is not it obvious .... accompanied CM8000, sound mid-pce, not evident with a manual in French but very correct ........ simplify memory by returning against a spectrum from left to right, for example ..... better have good ears .....
for the setting when stationary frequencies or reverb or echo is terrible setting délaisentre ways impeccable

SOUND QUALITY

effective effects

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 11 years
most: memory several programs, at least: for knowledgeable people ....

Functionality in all is said and fro.

Please note some functions are type cheese or dessert.

Note a 48v Phantom Mic, a microphone etalonage take a linear curve to the measurements, we can measure each channel L and R or Stereo mode.

Midifié complete with Thru ...

UTILIZATION

Sound to a room, fix the acoustics of a room, the camera is very good. we leave the microphone is launching a scan with the pink noise and voila it's done ... Well, almost because it will touch even when the curve to avoid the gun down in the encientes extrem extreme or severe acute

This device is NOT DONE FOR THE HIFI because it will make it neutral speakers or amps that have a particular sound. It is for the studio or room monitor, no HiFi!

I use it in EQ!

SOUND QUALITY

I have not had a complain. My studio is made very neutral thanks to this device so that I still wonder after two years of use how I did it for me without it.

It is neutral, no discoloration, very good converter.

OVERALL OPINION

I like it. It corresponds to what I wanted, 'the display is off, the menus practices, the correction is very good (with retrouche).

Something good con (-1), there is no on / off in frontage, this is stupid as it is in a rack, there are really slaps that are lost, 1 euro economy?
