Behringer DEQ1024 Ultragraph Digital Stereo 31 Band Equalizer

The DEQ1024 combines unmatched digital performance with straightforward and intuitive analog-like operation. Its FBQ Feedback Detection System instantly detects feedback and can also be used as an audio analyzer, making the DEQ1024 a real must-have. The EQ section features selectable +/-12dB, +/-6dB and +0/-24dB ranges and 31 illuminated 45mm faders. The switchable True Curve function precisely translates fader positions into an exact "WYSIWYG" frequency response. The DEQ1024 features sweepable low cut and high cut filters, an "inaudible" Noise Gate/Peak Limiter and Pink Noise generator plus a stereo imager for unbelievable spatial enhancement and improved imaging. A digital AES/EBU and S/PDIF interface allows 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz sample rates. The DEQ1024 features servo balanced I/Os on gold-plated XLR and 1/4 in. TRS connectors.
