Behringer DEQ2496 HELP

After reading the raves about this product, I finally bought one along with the matching microphone tonite. Put in my system, eager to try room correction. The first 2 attmepts produced some curves that I wasn't crazy about, but seemed plausioble. Now, all it does is push all the bands above 125 all the way to maximum boost, and all the bands below 125 to maximum cut. When displaying the RTA of the pink noise, there is nop more htan a 15 dB range between the highest and lowest levels on the curve (as if that were small!)Also, one of the primary reasons I bought it was for equalizing low frequency room problems, yet it suggests htat anyuthing below 100Hz not be included in the auto EQ.
Does anyone know why it is coming up with such odd equalization curves, even though it is reading the data, which doesn't look so bad? Also, how bad is the product at low frequencies?

Tvad..."betweeen 3db and 1 db depending on the recording". If you are looking at a stereo recording it is normal for the two channels to be different. To determine if the Behringer channel gains differ you need a mono CD (or a test CD like the one Dennon makes).

When I said that 3dB would be faulty electronics what I am suggesting is that some setup or EQ condition must be causing the inequality because circuitry is never that bad.

When you say that the inequality is measured at the input this suggests that it isn't in the Behringer.

What levels are you seeing on the green LEDs?

Are you having fun yet?

In my experience, the Behringer tends to induce a lot of pilot error.

Drubin...I agree. I think that the problem is partly due to the manual being a translation from German, but mostly because it is written for pro sound people who are pretty savy, and explanations which would be helpful for the average audiophile are omitted. Also, the darned thing does so many things, and with so many options that writing a good manual would be a real challenge.
