Ultracurve Pro DEQ Continued on next page. Dynamically-activated EQ Dynamic EQ automatically raises or lowers a defined frequency range based on volume level. Feedback Destroyer with Learning Mode. FBD can be run in AUTO mode to compensate for movements of performers on stage, or in SNGLE mode that locks onto individual frequencies and then varies the amount of attenuation and bandwidth depending on feedback stimulus — more suited to fixed microphone installations.

Built tough for the road, precise for the studio. You can only view or download manuals with. Sign Up and get 5 for free. Amongst the machine's function is a real time spectrum analyser. You can purchase a Behringer ECM calibration microphone and quickly and easily set up the graphic to 'compensate' for room acoustics, for example. There's also a mired of other functions such as parametric eq, dynamic eq, dynamic processing and time delay, to name but a few.

Finding popularity amongst hi-fi enthusiasts and audiofiles, the latest and current Ultra-Curve is of course also very popular with PA hire companies, recording studios and even in musicians' instrument rigs. The settings already made remain active. The selection and editing of parameters is largely the same as in the PEQ menu, one exception being the B key: With a long key press you can reset all filters menu page 2 or just the AUTO filters menu page 3.

For normal stereo operation settings between and Hz usually sound best. Two pages are available, on which you can adjust compressor and expander settings. A signal whose stereo basis has been enlarged sounds much more interesting, because you can hear more pronounced differences between the two stereo sides. If used moderately, a stereo imager can clearly enhance the overall impression of your music. In the center of the display, a diagram shows both the stereo width of the signal triangle and the mono signal line.

As in the other menus, the A key is used to alternate between the left and right stereo sides. Explanation: A compressor reduces the volume level above a selected threshold and thus gives the sound more density and punch. Use the ROTATION parameter lower data wheel to position the entire signal stereo and mono in the stereo image, without modifying the relative proportion between mono and stereo signals. An expander reduces the volume level below a selected threshold and thus also reduces the levels of interference, such as tape noise or crosstalk.

Extreme settings make an expander act like a noise gate, cutting off signal levels below the threshold completely. The display is very much the same as in the DEQ menu, because here, too, signal processing depends on the volume level.

The RATIO parameter adjusts the amount of attenuation, once the signal exceeds or drops below the threshold lower data wheel.

The setting range is from For example, SHUFFLE lower data wheel generates an additional stereowidth effect for the low-frequency range, because the signal separation between the left and right stereo sides is not so clearly audible in the bass as it is in the treble range.

The spatial character of the sound becomes thus more intensive. The setting range is from 1. Press the respective control to select a coarse or fine adjustment scale.

All subsequent editing will have an effect on both sides simultaneously. In general, a limiter can be considered a compressor, however, one which always uses a maximum attenuation factor, thus effectively suppressing all signal peaks and protecting connected power amps and speakers from overload and possible damage. Here, too, the display shows how the signal is limited. The HOLD function determines how long the signal level is reduced, once the threshold has been exceeded upper data wheel.

It is also active in bypass mode, however, only works to a limit value of 0 dB, so as to avoid digital distortion occurring on the outputs. The upper and lower data wheels select the parameters, which can then be edited with the large data wheel. When the built-in noise generator is on or the AVRG setting in the RTA menu has been selected, this correction will be made automatically, and needs not be switched on manually. With all other signals, however, this function should be off; otherwise, the individual frequency bands might be displayed incorrectly.

The setting range is from to 0 dB. When the digital input has been selected, the sample rate cannot be changed, because the DEQ tracks the sample rate contained in the input signal. On the second menu page you can determine the signal source for the AUX output and the digital outputs. All saved presets will be retained. On the third page you can determine the input signal for the real-time analyzer. With the A key you can select the left or right stereo side.

Keep the key pressed to edit both sides simultaneously. Keep this key pressed to reset all delay settings. With the upper data wheel you can determine the unit for the delay settings. You can choose between milliseconds 0 - ms , feet 0 - This is necessary because the speed of sound largely depends on the ambient temperature. The higher the temperature, the higher the speed of sound plus 0.

Press the wheel to select a coarse or fine adjustment scale. This way, you can set up a delay line without any additional equipment see also chapter 4. Use the A key for selection. The adjusted dB value 0 to dB refers to the upper limit that will be displayed.

Press the wheel to activate the AUTO function. Now the MAX value is adjusted automatically, depending on the signal level. Depending on the selected MAX value, the dynamic range displayed will be extended towards the bottom end. The cursor arrows above and below the graphic indicate the currently selected frequency range.

This connects the analog left or right input of the unit to the corresponding analog output, so that the signals bypass the modules completely. Turn the large data wheel to select individual modules, and press it to remove them from the signal path. If set to AVRG, it calculates average values from the signal levels. In this mode, the analyzer seems to be processing slower than usual. This module is subdivided into three additional pages. Once the curve of your choice has been set up, please switch to the second page of the AEQ menu.

SPAN lower data wheel controls the maximum distance allowed between the desired and real frequency response curve 0 to 30 dB. When this value is exceeded, the corresponding range will not be processed. Press the RTA key to cancel. Press the large data wheel to exclude individual frequency bands from the AEQ mode. These bands will not be processed by the automatic frequency response correction. It makes sense to exclude the low-frequency range up to approx.

To save a previously edited preset please use the large data wheel to select a memory location from the table shown max. With the data wheel turn and the upper data wheel turn and press , you can select the characters both horizontally and vertically. Press the center data wheel to enter a character, subsequently the cursor in the lower entry field will be moved to the next position.

Turn the lower data wheel to select individual positions and press it to erase individual characters. When you keep the 3. You can also continue the process by pressing the large data wheel. Subsequently, the preset of your choice will be loaded. The two bars in the middle of the display show the average level of the signals in the form of a VU meter. This means that the displays respond with some delay to changes in signal level.

Thus, very short peaks will not be displayed RMS. The outer two displays are peak meters indicating the signal level including all peaks.

As a consequence, the levels shown here are always a bit higher than those displayed by the VU meter. The signal peaks of all level meters including peak hold are shown to the right of these displays PEAK. Presets set to stereo LINK mode are marked by a stereo symbol in the preset chart. Locked presets are marked with a lock symbol. In combination with a measuring microphone e. Similar to page 1, you can select a preset from which you want to load a module. Here, too, you will be prompted to confirm your selection.
