I am currently finishing the build of my open baffle system and looking to set up appropriate equalization and are examining all the options.  I have noticed that behringer have a 31 band equalizer that can be purchased very cheaply new (about $180.00 Au) and looks as though it could be OK.  In the end it would be cheaper than my building my own Equalizer ( I was going to (build a three band parametric) and probably far more flexible, but has anyone used this beasty and if they have was it any good?

Thanks in advance

Which Behringer, the BFD Feedback Destroyer I'm guessing at that price? Used it happily on my subs but it was not too good when I tried it out of interest on my mains. I've used the DEQ2496, which is about Au$400, on my mains and its quite good if you feed it a digital signal, and very good if you feed digital out to a good external dac. I use the DEQ only on my subs now, and its probably a bit of an overkill, but I'm also using the 12db low-pass feature which is quite useful.

Hi Dewar

It is the FBQ3102 ultragraph pro. 

Cheers

The BFD is the DSP1124P, see here  http://bfdguide.ws/

The DEQ2496 is the Ultracurve Pro.

Havnt heard of the FBQ3102, but it looks to operate in the analogue domain only so likely not too transparent. I see there is an ULTRAGRAPH DIGITAL DEQ1024 which seems to be its digital equivalent and likely a better bet, but I've not heard of this one either. Search audiocircle and google for opinions of people using it for hifi (as opposed to professionally). cheers
