1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in our
products by purchasing one of our equalizers. This 2-channel
high-end equalizer was designed with our experience and know-
how in filter technology spanning many years. Our analog and
digital equalizers are used the world over in various reputable
studios, P.A. systems and radio and TV stations. Just like with
the rest of our product line, when we started designing the new
ULTRAGRAPH PRO models, we had put forth uncompromizing
demands in terms of controls, sound, technical data and fit-and-
finish quality.
FBQ Feedback Detection System
The FBQ Feedback Detection System is one of the most
outstanding characteristcs of our graphic equalizers. This
ingenious circuitry lets you immediately recognize and eliminate
feedback frequencies. The FBQ Feedback Detection System
uses the LEDs in the frequency band faders to indicate the
critical frequencies. This way, what once used to be a labor-
intensive search for feedback frequencies is now an activity
that even a child could master.
In normal operation, the fader LEDs indicate frequency ranges
with the highest energy levels, therefore replacing a separate
audio analyzer. If you keep an eye on the LEDs while you play
back your music (or during the sound check before a show),
you can easily identify those frequency ranges showing the
highest energy levels. Similarly, increased signal levels on
individual frequency bands indicate a higher likelihood that
feedback may occur.
All three models feature a dedicated subwoofer output with
adjustable cut-off frequency. You can also adjust the fader
range from ±6 to ±12 dB for each channel independently.
FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
Welcome to the team of
ULTRAGRAPH PRO
users and thank you
very much for ex-
pressing your confi-
dence in BEHRINGER
products by purchasing
one of our equalizers.
Writing this foreword for
you gives me great plea-
sure, because it repre-
sents the culmination of
many months of hard
work delivered by our
engineering team to
achieve a very ambitious
goal: presenting three
outstanding graphic
equalizers, whose
features and flexibility correspond to all your requirements for
studio and P.A. system applications. The task of designing our
new ULTRAGRAPH PRO equalizers certainly meant a great deal
of responsibility which we assumed the task by focusing on
you, the discerning user and musician. Meeting your expectations
also meant a lot of work and night shifts. But it was fun, too.
Developing a product usually brings a lot of people together, and
what a great feeling it is when everybody who has participated
in such a project can be proud of what theyve achieved.
It is our philosophy to share our enjoyment with you, because
you are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team.
With your highly competent suggestions for new products youve
made a significant contribution to help shape our company and
making it successful. In return, we guarantee you
uncompromising quality (manufactured under ISO9000 certified
management system) as well as excellent technical and audio
properties at an extremely reasonable price. All of this will enable
you to give free rein to your creativity without being hampered
by budget constraints.
We are often asked how we manage to produce such high-
quality devices at such unbelievably low prices. The answer is
quite simple: its you, our customers! Many satisfied customers
mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing
terms for components, etc. Isnt it only fair to pass this benefit on
to you? Because we know that your success is our success
too!
I would like to thank all of those who have made the
ULTRAGRAPH PRO equalizers possible. You have all made your
own personal contributions, from the developers to the many
other employees at this company, and to you, the BEHRINGER
user.
My friends, its been worth the effort!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
