It's a 12 band per channel parametric equalizer with a built in 24/46 ADC/DAC (DSP). I chose this over the the DEQ2496 which has 20 parametric bands per channel a 24/96 ADC/DAC (DSP) and is ~$60 more expensive. For my purposes 12 bands per channel are more than enough for a device that will never see a signal higher than 100Hz. Currently the DSP1124 is connected to the low pass out of my crossover and from there to the bridged Crown's that drive my subs.

Now that I have two 1U rack mount devices I pulled a Walnut Crown DC300 case I wasn't using out of the closet and bolted the DSP112 and my CX2310 (crossover) into it. They leave a 2U space open in the case. So, maybe I'll look around for a 2U amplifier for a center channel speaker that I've never gotten around to buying. The case is sitting on a black painted piece of spiked MDF between my front speakers. The amps for the speakers and subs are behind or next to their respective speakers.

To use a BFD properly you need a calibrated measurement microphone and REW (Room Equalization Wizzard). REW is available for free at www.hometheatershack.com . You have to become a member (free) to get it. Behringer and Parts Express have calibration microphones available for less than $100. Both need a microphone preamp that provides phantom power for the condenser microphone element. If you have a Rat Shack SLM analog or digital it will also work. HT Shack has the correction factors for all the Rat Shack SLM's analog and digital.

24/46 is not a slip of the finger. That's what it says in the manual.
I'm only using 5 of the bands and probably could have gotten away with 3. I bought mine from a friend over at AH for $60. It was just sitting around not getting used at his house.
It did a great job of taming a peek I had at 50.
I have it connected to my LFE out and then on to an EP4000 amp (with the fan mod).
It can be set up manually if you have the patients. I didn’t have a laptop at the time, but wifey has one now. It may be time for some more tweeking.
