Since much has been written about the pros and cons of Behringer equipment I
wonder if anyone might be willing to comment about a specific Behringer
component, namely the Ultragraph Pro FBQ6200 Ultra-Musical 31-Band Stereo
Graphic Equalizer with FBQ Feedback Detection System, Behringer's
"top-of-the-line" equalizer?

According to the company literature this Equalizer incorporates Swiss Alps
potentiometers, which surely have a good reputation, and it also features a
relay operated "hard" bypass, in order to permit instant comparison between
the equalized vs. the unequalized signal.

Unfortunately I have no idea about the quality, or sound, of the op amps
used in this Behringer equalizer.

I do not intend to use this equalizer in a professional recording setup, but
rather for a home stereo system in order to hopefully adjust the system's
response in order to cope with certain room anomalies.

Thank you very much for your kind consideration and comments.






I don't like graphic EQs compared to Parametric units (I have the
FBQ-2496 and love it). One wants to be able to set the center freq and
bandwidth of the correction. An standard EQ won't be helpful - without
adding negative affects - unless your very lucky and some of the
controls you have line up EXACTLY with what you are trying to fix.
