Which Digital processor/equalizer ?


Any experience from low cost beringer ultra to the audyssey pro or any other type. Most seem to do the same thing but have big monetary discrepancies

"Acoustat6".... I use a rive test cd2 and an SPL meter to arrive at this conclusion. After talking to Rives today I realise an equalizer may not help matters. I will still have the suckout in this region no matter how much gain I increase. Rives explained the stress on the amp and the speakers by trying to fix the suckout by increasing gain. Since I can't move my speakers too much I believe a good subwoofer placed properly should alleviate the bass problem and further optimize a good system
Kr4...Well yes. It probably would apply to the Behringer DEQ2496. Jack the price up to at least $1500, and audiophiles might give the thing a try :-)
Snook2....I heard that Rives is coming out with a new PARC model that will boost as well as cut (like the Behringer).
IMHO, and based on hands-on experience, your 8 dB problem should be easily foxed. Don't forget that the correction could be limited to 4 dB boost by cutting gain over the rest of the range.

By all accounts the PARC is an excellent item. My point is that while the PARC would set you back a few thousand bucks the Behringer would cost about a tenth as much. It would be a good way to find out if the suckout is really impossible to fix, as Rives has told you. Furthermore, the RTA of the Behringer will diagnose your problem easier and better than the SPL meter and Rives CD, which I also have used.
