Behringer FBQ1502 anybody used ?

EQ guys are using on their cabs/systems. A good starting place if you don't have your own RTA.

Behringer FBQ1502 anybody used ?

#1 Post by lazyman »

I'm looking for cheapest option for powering and eq my little system (2T39, 2OT12).
I have found that this eq has subwoofer out and low cut filter.

But, there is lack of information in the manual.

Im interested if anyone has used this unit?
What is low pass frequency?
If i set subwoofer out to 120hz, does regular outputs play 120Hz up, or full range?
Omnitop 12 (Kappa12 - melded piezo) - 2
Titan39 (B&C 12BG100) - 1

I own one and do recall it having a sub out. However, despite actually liking Behringer gear, this is a turkey - signal bleed is terrible and the Q between frequency bands sounds inconsistent.
Built:
6xDR200, 2xT39, 2xT48, 2xJack110, 1xOmni10.5, 1xAutotuba, 1xT18, 1xSLA Pro, 1xW8, 1xW10

Also, the "sub out" is a 12 db/oct crossover (despite what some of the manuals say)... very poor choice. I have one too.

If you're after cheap... do the Behringer cx2310 crossover in mono 3-way (gives you a low pass for the subs, you run the subs as "mids" and the "sub out" becomes your sub filter (24db/oct.. much better) and the FBQ3102...

of course by the time you get both of those, you could add a Franklin or so and have a DCX2496... and have everything you need, including limiters, crossovers, delays, PEQ, etc.
99% of the time, things that aren't already being done aren't being done because they don't work. The other 1% is split evenly between fools and geniuses.
