Members theelmsrock Posted January 1, 2006 Members Share Posted January 1, 2006 Yay or nay on the DSP8000 as a cheap solution (I can get one cheap) for a church 31 band EQ and RTA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ctardi Posted January 1, 2006 Members Share Posted January 1, 2006 No such thing as a DSP8000... At least not that I can find. Only ultracurve is the DEQ2496 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theelmsrock Posted January 1, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 1, 2006 This is not the auction that I am bidding on, just proof that the thing exists. Might be an older model that is not stocked anymore?Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ctardi Posted January 1, 2006 Members Share Posted January 1, 2006 Found the item, it's an DSP8024. Is it really worth the whole 3 bands of parametric you get? I'd just go with a good graphic or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pro1-54 Posted January 1, 2006 Members Share Posted January 1, 2006 Out of the 5 Behringer digital eqs around this area that I know of, only 2 are still working properly. They are both early versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agedhorse Posted January 1, 2006 Members Share Posted January 1, 2006 The DSP-8000 mainframe is one of the first truely innovative and original products Behringer succeeded in developing. It is a very good design (except for a little thermal issue on the+5V regulator circuit) and a good sounding unit (outstanding sounding given it's price), quiet and a pretty decent user-interface, at a penalty of being 2U high. The only real functional issue is the noise gate threshold, and I don't recall if it can be bypassed. It's only a problem on systems with an exceptionally low noise floor. I have not seen any significant reliability issues with either the DSP-8000, or the upgraded (and no 5 volt regulator problem) 8024. I use one on the road as a programmable signal source and quick & dirty RTA when I am travelling on service/troubleshooting jobs and don't want to deal with (or need to analyze time domain problems) a laptop. It's all set up with balanced I/O and if it gets destroyed in an unforseeable accident it's not the end ofthe world. Sometimes, I have to work in somewhat inaccessable areas like catwalks. I can rope the little rack up off a floor 100 feet in the air without fear that I would have with a laptop. It may need the back-up battery replaced though.
