The brain in this xover get confused and will start to short circuit causing the xover points to become messed up and the output levels will sky rocket and then drop dead quiet, not what we need especially when we have to run bands.'īuy Behringer ULTRA-DRIVE PRO DCX2496 online at Musician's Friend 'We run the top of the line Martin Audio speakers, and this thing has caused us to blow our subs numerous times. 'Within 6 months, 4 out of the 5 had some type of failure including one which would turn itself off and reboot in the middle of the gig' Hmm, the DCX has some really bad reviews: I'm reading the manual, I see that you can control the unit using the RS232 port, but no mention on how you can feed the DAC using USB. Interesting! And cheaper than the DEQ (btw, does anyone know why behringer prices are the same number in dollar or euros!?!). But many people will not want to believe it is transparent(does not cost enough, is pro audio gear, etc.), and under sighted/biased conditions, are open to having their perception of what they hear, not what they actually hear, be changed, leading to unfair accusations of ADC/DAC qualities on behalf of the Behringers, or any other hardware for that matter.Īs for how to get the appropriate signal from your computer in the first place to feed the Behringer, I'll leave that suggestion for others. It also lets you do interesting things with headphones - where you can precisely add a subwoofer for your low end(yes, some people use subs with headphones and find the result very satisfying).īTW, as for sound quality, both of these units are going to be transparent to human ears so far as the ADC/DAC in the units themselves, but of course, it will audibly affect the signal with modifications/changes that you intentionally are applying.

The DCX is a great EQ, but it is also a superb crossover system that you can later use to integrate stereo subs/speakers ideally for perfect seamless bass(not something easy to do without the proper xover system), or even, be the brain in a fully active speaker system if you ever chose to go that route. In addition, the DCX has PC interface software that lets you make all adjustments from your PC if you so desire.

The DCX2496 is much more powerful/versatile than the DEQ2496.

Please consider the DCX2496 as opposed to the DEQ2496.
