    Behringer

    This guy?

    http://www.behringer.com/DEQ2496/index.cfm?lang=ENG

    I recall an earlier discussion here about these units. At $360, it's time for me to get serious about looking, probably. Gonna need my own RTA, and it's built in, apparently.

    Also, maybe their crossover ($300):

    Read the manuals and search the forum, Zilchster....

    I use a Behringer 8024 for my RTA. Got it cheap! Works great! That DCX 2496 certainly is inexpensive. Lot's of flexibility with the PC interface. Makes it easier to use than the just the screen.

    I've got an Ultracurve; bought it new, never used it but once. I oughtta hook it up and use it a bit..........I figured that in another year or so I'd look at the current offerings in DSP/EQ/RTA/controllers and see whats shakin'. Haven't quite seen what I want yet, that is affordable for me.

    PC Interface?

    I ain't buyin' no laptop t' use in the garage. Nope, nope.

    O.K., well, MAYBE not, then....

    That gear is sure ugly.

    Behringer could certainly benefit from consultation with the Lansing Heritage Forum industrial design team!

    Zilch,

    I haven't paid much attention to the Behringer stuff, but I know that Infredible bought one model of Behringer RTA/EQ and hated it and replaced it with a different model from them and was much happier with it.

    I've known Kent for a while, he's basically a full time R & D man up there and spent two years measuring and listening to just about every speaker he could find when designing the Rushmore. He also has a great crossover switch box that he spotted at the CES for a couple of hundred bucks.

    You can just see the Behinger on the shelf and his trusty Crown RTA.
    You ain't ever heard Altec horns (driven by Tads) sound so good.

    Mind you I had just visited The Widget and had the luxury of nursing Bo's 4345's for a few days so I was totally bonkas over anything to do with audio, Californian woman and red wine at this stage.

    I'm planning on looking at the UltraCurve today.

    Zilchster wantsa ride in his "Z," as the venerable Zilchmobile is in its final days here, alas....

    Ian: PM me Kent's contact info, if it wouldn't be an intrusion, please. Maybe I give him a little call or eMail for advice and recommendations. Perhaps I can encourage him to post it here for everyone....

    Don't get the 8024 go for the 2496. Better with more flexabillity and you can adjust the input sensitivity so you can run at home and not Pro levels. I have an 8024 which is what Kent's looks like. Never used it as an EQ have the analog Urie 839's for that.

    Okay,

    Someone elses ears already pricked up about this so your second in line.

    Kent is a super cool guy and just loves his diy stuff.

    Zilch, could you please PM me what you have paid for the 2431H?

    What is the current plea from JBL for not sending the Waveguides?

    Yeah! forget about the 8024, mine seats on the storage shelf now. Bad DACs I suppose, lots of jitter in the background. I brought the 2496 and now I'm really happy with the sound and It's a much better machine to use. I got it localy for $376. As for the Z that is another story

    I had a look at some of this stuff today and plan to do more research with some people who use the gear in the field.

    Initially I was thinking of using the Ultra curve as a developement tool but note it can be operated as digital in/out device which if used with a CD source having an up sampled digital output of say 24/96 could have possibilities partnered with a nice D/A converter at the post EQ end of the digital chain.
