Behringer's Ultra Curve DEQ-2496. Considering recommending for purchase for my HS theater as a room EQ assistance tool primarily and as an alternative comp/lim.

Currently we EQ with the octave-width EQ on the Mackie CFX 20 (I know..) and comp/lim with a dbx 266A.

Whaddya think?

though I haven't had experience with this specific piece of gear...

it certainly is an improvement from what you have now. Good experience in runnning digital outboard gear, though from a teaching perspective I think it would be easier to teach the function of the units (parametric EQ, graphic EQ, Limiter, Compressor) on seperate units where you can see all the controls.

Quality wise... at least it isn't an Alesis...

I agree, but we don't have the cash to buy all of those before I leave.

Hahaha.... true.

We have two of those Behringer Eq's on our standard sound rig. One for FOH and one for Foldback.

They are a fantastic unit and I would highly recommend, if you have the availble funds to get one.

Yeowch! $375?

IF we could afford it, I could really use one of those.... Our previous EQ, an analog one 8O, died about a year and a half ago. So, we have no master eqilization on any of our speakers at all....

As usual, the school wont buy us anything, and I think a new sound board is about to be on its list....

If you get in touch with B&H Photo, they will sell it to you for $269 as a school.

That, "bio box" and "bump in" are lost on the people here... "luminaire" not so much, but I say we need to check foldback and I get blank looks :D

LOL

I bet your missing those term's :P

What is foldback known as over there..... and while we're here what is the bio box called?

Ahhh this is alll so fasinating, learning different cultures!

It's known as the "monitor" send. Not to be confused with the FOH monitors, if there are any. *sigh*. Foldback just makes SENSE.

And it's known as a booth, thus the website's name

actors love to sit on floor mics. they love to turn off thier wireless bodypack and neglect to turn it back on when they go on stage (despite warnings not to touch the **** thing). batteries are expensive, and actors don't understand. actors never friggin project enough. give me a few more days of rehearsal, and i'll be sure to post some more
