The Ultra-Q Pro meets all requirements that you should expect, while having all the qualities you recognize as being important in a top-quality professional equalizer. It has 5 fully parametric bands, enabling you to notch out troublesome frequencies, or to creatively enhance the color of your music, much more precisely than with any graphic equalizer.
Band-Pass Filters
Additionally, a pair of tunable High- and Low-Cut Filters (12 dB/Oct.) allow you to eliminate noise beyond your program material's bandwidth, e.g. mains hum, system noise, etc.
State-Variable concept
Behringer's State-variable Filter design ensures ultra-smooth operation. Each of 5 parametric bands has variable Frequency, Bandwidth (variable from 0.03 to extremely wide 2 octaves), and 15 dB Cut/Boost. The lowest and highest frequency ranges are 20 Hz to 300 Hz and 1 Hz to 20 kHz rerspectively, and we have given you a high degree of overlap between the 5 bands, allowing you up to 30 dB cut or boost at a particular frequency!
Parallel Filter Circuit
Behringer uses a special parallel, rather than conventional serial filter arrangement. This keeps frequency-dependent phase shifts, to an absolute minimum. And because each of the 5 filter circuits resides in a separate side-chain, your main signal path suffers minimal disturbance.
The Constant-Q Principle
A Constant-Q (Quality) performance for a parametric equalizer can only be achieved if no parameter interacts with any other. It is the total non-interaction between amplitude, frequency, bandwidth, and bands that enables the PEQ2200 to focus unerringly on the tone colour you want.
