I know the Behringer is pretty good for sound quality. Even if there is some wear so long as it works and hasn't got any broken sliders you should be fine. When you buy new, you have a warrantee.ĮQ's aren't something you constantly tweak. Maybe its fine, maybe they upgraded, and maybe its seen its day. Someone's unloading something that's no longer used. Its OK but it doesn't have the crisp highs others do, not that that's essential in a PA and having them softened can help with feedback. Its a smaller side by side stereo version. Some DBX stuff is really good but they do have a budget line like everyone else. I buy allot of used gear but I'm an electronic tech by trade and have allot of experience doing repairs so I'm able to properly re-lube sliders after cleaning with pot cleaner. Cleaning them often makes the problem worse because they usually grease the sliders to move smoothly and once you clean them they no longer move smoothly, they freeze up and are hard to move. That alone can make a big difference to many, especially if you use hand held condenser mics which produce louder signals and have a wider frequency response.Īnything used is risky because the sliders get dirty. Being able to notch the feedback frequencies will allow you to run the PA louder live. I don't know if its as good as the Sabine units I use but they can surely be handy in reflective rooms. The Behringer does have something the DBX doesn't have which is feedback detection/suppression. Its middle of the road so the DBX might do better there for longevity and durability especially if its used as road gear. The quality if the build is OK, Not the best and not the worst. ![]() They will easily match or blow the doors off of many older generation EQ's like Tapco, Dod, MXR, Rane, Crate, Yamaha and dozens of others Though it might have a hard time beating a good Soundcraftman or UREI or SAE unit). The quality of the filters are much better then you think. The Behringer is less than half the price. The DBX has some noise reduction which may be worth the extra money if your system tends to be hissy. DBX is well known so they can tag on an extra $100 ~ $200 just from their name recognition. Dimensions: H: 48.3 x W: 15.0 x D: 8.They are two different classes of gear so the DBX is obviously going to be a better piece of gear but when you take into consideration the price differences the playing field is actually more level then you think.ĭBX units sell in the $500 range new.- 240 V~), noise-free audio, superior transient response plus low power consumption for energy saving."Planet Earth" switching power supply for maximum flexibility (100.Servo-balanced inputs and outputs with 1/4" TRS and gold-plated XLR connectors.Relay-controlled hard-bypass with an auto-bypass function during power failure (fail-safe relay).Highly accurate 12-segment LED input/output metering and input gain controls for easy level setting.Additional sweepable high and low-cut filters for each channel remove unwanted frequencies, e.g.Dedicated mono subwoofer output with adjustable crossover frequency.Ultra-low noise 4580 operational amplifiers for highest signal integrity.Revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection system instantly reveals critical frequencies and can also be used as audio analyzer.Professional 31-band stereo graphic equalizer for live and studio applications.Although multi-band graphic equalizers have been around for a long time, they have changed very little… until now!
