Behringer dsp8024 -- Best Price; Great Review

Using a digital EQ to take your sound to where you want it to be is not nearly as challenging as it once was. Sure, you need to have a formative understanding of sound processing basics but once that's attained you can get right to experimenting. This is more possible than ever with the advances in sound processor technology. There's often a much more straight line between what you've got in mind and the realization of it with models produced after the year 2000.

Behringer's DSP8024 Parametric EQ/Analyzer is a simple yet versatile and intuitive rack-mount component that is ideal for audio prospecting. It delivers the full performance and flexibility of 24-bit technology and a broad range of functions, top S/N ratio and outstanding audio quality. Top this with a price tag that comes in well below that of its peers and this unit is a slam dunk for working musicians on a budget that want a well-defined, feedback-free sound night in and out.

The DSP8024 features a 31-band graphic EQ with a real-time analyzer and an Auto-Q function for automatic room measurement and correction plus three bands of parametric equalization. The auto-q and analyzer allow you to gauge the dynamics of the performance environment, set the correct curve before ringing the room and then get to the set! Gone are the repeated trips to the PA in between tunes to make adjustments, this EQ is on top of it for you from the very second you drop the first note. The EQ further features an integrated digital peak limiter, noise gate and delay function to max. of 2.5 seconds.

Where it is commonly most appreciated, however, is with its automatic feedback destroyer that identifies toasted signals and blocks them without compromising an ounce of the signal integrity. Any of the parametric equalization bands can be set to hunt and attenuate feedback signals and as you learn the unit you become quite proficient with doing it. This feature is particularly effective when dealing with feedback between microphones and monitor speakers on stage. 100 memory preset locations means you have plenty of room to lock in any number of settings that work for your music.

With the DSP8024 Parametric EQ / Analyzer you can confidently know the sound provided through your phones is going to be the same sound as in the room. Reinforce that confidence with tailored EQ channels that are at-the-ready to destroy feedback signals and the DSP8024 is a formidable ally on stage. You can't go wrong adding one to your sound rack and chances are you'll be glad you did.
