![]() ![]() At that point I had become somewhat frustrated with the limited processing power of the Behringer. The JJ-modded Behringer was even better than not bad at all, enough so to carry me through until early 2013 when some owners of the DEQX HDP-3 began to upgrade to the HDP-4. Fortunately I stumbled upon a very good deal on the latter. It’s a matter of refinement, priorities and available cash. ![]() With little discernible digital grain and a whole bunch of functionality and convenience, I could live with it much like I could live with the stock Wright Sound Company 2A3 monoblocks over those that employ air-gapped nickel output transformers and upgraded tubes. The delays for all inputs and outputs are adjustable so you can manually or automatically correct for phase and arrival time differences and (according to their literature) even room temperature!įor $350 the stock Behringer is a remarkably good tool and not bad-sounding (perhaps because I was adamantly expecting its performance to be marginal at best). There are four different mono and stereo output operating modes all with Butterworth, Bessel and Linkwitz-Riley filters featuring selectable roll-off characteristics from 6dB to 48dB/octave. ![]() You get dynamic EQs for level-dependent equalization as well as more musical parametric EQs selectable for all inputs and outputs. ![]() The stock unit offers three analog inputs (one suitable as a digital stereo AES/EBU input) and six analog outputs. In addition to the modded unit I purchased and took the time to pre-calibrate a stock Behringer Ultra-Drive Pro DCX2496 ultra-high precision digital 24/96 loudspeaker management system for backup. It makes sense and you can overlap drivers. Not so simple that it doesn't take a day or two to learn but it is easy. I have modified four or five over the years. But they use the right AKM chip and you can tap straight from that. In his words, "I am not saying Behringer items are quality. In late 2011 Jeffrey kindly sent us a Behringer DCX2496 he had modified to capacitor output (basically removing everything after the DAC chip).
