Behringer DEQ 2496

After reading many glowing reviews, I was ready to buy one of these. When researching prices and stores, I found that it only has balanced inputs/outputs. Is this correct or am I missing something? I know I can connect via a digital input, but is there any way to get it connected to my pre-amp with regular old RCA's?

Okay, for one pair of inputs and one pair of ouputs, do I need "male" XLR's, "female" XLR's or a combination of the two?

BTW-I ordered the DEQ today. I'm interested to see how much of a difference it makes.

>>Are the rack mounts removable? If so, is it 17" wide?<<

They are removable, but once removed, there is an opening to the inside of the unit. I removed them just to cut off the ends with a hacksaw, then put them back on to cover the opening.

Ecruz I would recommend 2 male and 2 female in case you ever want to connect analog inputs.Also another female for a digital out if you want to connect to an external DAC. The female converters have holes the males have prongs.

Two points

- Behringer should really include the microphone with DEQ2496, even if they have to increase the price. You need the microphone to get the most out of it.

- Unless you have fancy cable that you don't want to touch, re-terminate them with XLR connectors is cheaper and likely gives you better results.
