LOL, yeah, I know. I would whole-heartedly agree that most "B-word" gear is crap. However, the updated version of this particular unit is a diamond (or at least a CZ) in the turd-pile IMO. Just like the 1 or 2 other Behringer units that are decent (and found in plenty of pro gear-lists).

Besides, you can use it solely as a (1/6th octave) RTA/P-EQ or even as a DAC (all of which are great) without all the other crap. It's certainly a lot of bang for the buck, and is surprisingly clean/neutral in the line. Most gear-snobs are even pleasantly surprised.

Don't know what I was thinking though....with a McIntosh/Dynaudio budget, I should have recommended a TC EQ Station, or a maybe a lowly Klark Helix.

If you prefer sliding sliders or turning knobs vs. command dials, then I would opt for a decent Rane DEQ or a pair of Audio Control C-131's. If you want to kick it up a notch (and have P-EQ capability), get something like a pair of Focusrite Blue 315's, Red 2's or original (Neve) ISA 110's if you can find them. If not, look at the Neve Portico, or even the Rane PEQ55. Better Jeremy?
