Re: DEQ2496 Resources
I was able to play with my DEQ for a couple of hours today.
I upgraded the Firmware to 1.4 (I believe thats the same as 2.5 except the 1.4 firmware is for a DSP chip that's no longer produced). If you are a linux user, I can post instructions on that if you want me to.
Also, I played around with the remote control software I linked to above. I seems to work fine in the windows emulator software (WinE) that comes with Linux, so I think it would work OK in standard Windows. I can see using 2 of these with that 1U 4 channel amp from behringer for monitors. That would be a sweet monitoring rig all in 1 4U box.
I also figured out how the Dynamic EQ section works. Basically, it's like a compressor combined with a EQ, and you get 3 bands to play with. The "passband" type filter seems to act like a 1 band PEQ, and there are highpass,lowpass and shelving modes. I still haven't figured out the exact settings to approximate the Fletcher-Munson curves, but I think I can do that pretty easy. Whether it is worthwhile to use is a whole different topic.
