Behringer Ultra-Curve Pro DSP8024 or other Real Time Analyzer?

[Mike Anderson]

Yes, the the DEQ2496 has a real time analyser and will construct a 61 band correction correction curve. For theses functions, you'll need to get a suitable microphone such as the Behringer ECM8000.

Here are the links:

Note that the DEQ2496 has optical (toslink) S/PDIF inputs and outputs, but no coaxial connectors.

I'm planning to get one of these units. Initially I'll probably feed it directly from my Sony SACD player, (RBCD digital, of course), but eventually I'll feed it from USB sound card with a S/PDIF output -- I hope to put my entire collection on HD encoded using Apple Lossless format and organized with iTunes.

I've been told that you can't do RTA/room correction just with the unit and the ECM mic. Apparently you have to hook it up to a computer, as it doesn't generate its own pink noise.

Is that correct?

EDIT: Never mind, the salesman was clueless. I've looked in the manual, and he's just wrong.
