Beringer DEQ2496

Behringer DEQ2496 Ultra Curve Pro Review - 07/10/15 I had originally looked to warm up and put some more foundation in some  of the patches on one of my keyboards. I tried a tube preamp but where I  got some warmth and power the patches still didn’t jump out at me like I  wanted. The next thing I tried was a 3 band parametric EQ. No dice there  as there just wasn’t enough control over the sound for what I was looking  for. So after some research I stumbled upon the DEQ2496. I have not used  the compressor or limiter functions of this signal processor so I won’t be  reviewing those features. The features I will be reviewing are the 31 band  graphic EQ and the 10 band parametric EQ. If you need an EQ for anything,  this is THE go to unit. I am using it on 2 keyboards and and selected to  have channel 1 and 2 as two seperate mono channels since we don’t use  stereo when playing live. Doing it this way allows me to EQ both boards  acording to the sound I am trying to shape on each one. Not only was I  able to accomplish this but the unit allowed me to use the 31 band EQ on  one and the 10 band parametric EQ on the other amd the gains are also  seperate allowing me to get just the tone and boost I was looking for on  live performances. The unit also can save your settings so that if you need  different settings for different songs it is no problem to reach over and  press a button for the change. My needs are a little simplistic for what I am  trying to accomplish but this unit will do so much more. I will not go in to a  lot of detail on PA use as it’s been covered pretty well on YouTube and if  your need is for sound reinforcement or broadcasting then I encourage you  to check out the videos. I just wanted to share my experience using it on  keyboards.
