7 ULTRAGRAPH DIGITAL DEQ1024

(13) The 12-digit LEVEL METER shows the signal level of the input and output

signals. Use the METER switch located below it to select the respective

signal, whereby the output signal is indicated when the switch LED lights

up (green), and the input signal is indicated when the switch LED is not lit.

Thered CLIP LED lights up as soon as the indicated signal is overdriven.

TheGATE and the LIMITER LED shows that the threshold of the respective

dynamics processors is either exceeded or is below the selected value;

theLED also indicates that the dynamics processor is active at this time

(see (8)). Additionally, the volume of the pink noise generator and the 24-bit

word length setting (see (12)) is shown on the LED METER.

(14) Keeping the STANDBY switch depressed for a few seconds puts the DEQ1024

into standby mode (red switch LED lights up). In this case, the signal

connected to the DEQ1024 is looped through without being processed.

◊ All new settings are saved after approx. 2 seconds, so that powering

the DEQ1024 off and then on again (by using the STANDBY or the POWER

switch (20) on the rear panel) recalls the current settings.

(15) The balanced XLR and ¼" TRS inputs are used for connecting an analog

input signal.

(16) The analog output signal of the DEQ1024 can be taken by using these

balanced XLR and ¼" TRS connectors.

(17) The MAX. LEVEL switches increase the maximum signal level on the analog

inputs and outputs from +12 dBu to +22 dBu.

(18) You can selectively connect an input signal in the AES/EBU format (via the

XLR connector) or in the S/PDIF format (via the RCA connector) to the digital

inputs. In PRE EQ and POST EQ modes, these connectors can also be used as

insert returns (see (12)). Here, you can connect the output of your dynamics

processor or similar equipment.

◊ Never connect a signal simultaneously to the AES/EBU and to the

S/PDIF input.

(19) The output signal is available on the digital output in the AES/EBU format

(XLR connector) and in the S/PDIF format (RCA connector). InPRE EQ or

POSTEQ mode you can use these connectors as insert sends (see(11)).

Connect the input of your external dynamics processor or similar

equipment here. Unlike with the digital inputs, both digital outputs can be

usedsimultaneously.

(20) The POWER switch powers up your ULTRAGRAPH DIGITAL. The POWER

switch should always be in its “O” position when you are about to connect

the DEQ1024 to the mains.

◊ Attention: The POWER switch does not fully disconnect the unit from

the mains. Unplug the power cord completely when the unit is not used

for prolonged periods of time.

(21) The mains connection is achieved via the standard IEC connector. A matching

power cord is included.

(22) You can exchange blown fuses that are located in the FUSES COMPARTMENT

of your DEQ1024. Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same type

and rating. Please refer to chapter 5 “SPECIFICATIONS” for further details.

(23) SERIAL NUMBER of the ULTRAGRAPH DIGITAL. Please take the time to ll

in and return the warranty card within 14 days after the date of purchase.

3. Applications

The exible concept of the ULTRAGRAPH DIGITAL, with its wide-ranging

possibilities for audio processing, opens up many application options. We will

now present to you some of those possibilities with their typical settings.

This is surely the most common DEQ1024 application.

To achieve optimal results, you should keep in mind the following:

Before you begin correcting the frequency response, running your audio program

“unprocessed” rst has proved itself useful. If distortion occurs, it should rst be

confronted within the P.A. system. The physical location of your loudspeakers

also plays a huge role. No equalizer in the world can majorly improve the sound

that was thoroughly wattered down by being bounced o the walls and ceilings.

Modifying speaker positioning alone can create major improvements in the

quality of your sound.

When using multi-way active speakers, you should also rst correct the

run-time and phase settings (the ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496 digital crossover

from BEHRINGER gives you all the tools needed for this). Only then does the

ULTRAGRAPH DIGITAL come into play. Background noise such as mains hum as

well as extremely narrow-band resonance should rst be eliminated by using

the DEQ1024 (also see ch. 3.2.1). This should denitely be done before setting up

thesound.
