I thought it might be useful to someone to document the steps I went through to make the Behringer DEQ2496 work in the effects loop of the Transporter. So I'm attaching a couple of posts as sort of a primer, in the hopes that the next person who does this will benefit.
First I'll talk about setup, then the process. Physical install: I used digital AES/EBU cables with XLR connectors I got from a pro music shop. Connected a digital AES/EBU cable from the TP output to the Behringer input. Connect another cable from the TP input to the Behringer output. Finally, connect calibrated microphone to XLR microphone input, and tape mike to listening chair in position of head. I used a tape measure to measure distance of microphone to center of speaker drivers. Adjust for exact distances required. You'll need your Transporter updated with the latest beta firmware, currently FV42. You'll also need the most recent SqueezeCenter supported release (I found this out the hard way). The option to select the effects loop doesn't exist in version 7.0! Choose to enable the loop using AES/EBU. Scroll down and make sure that the Transporter is running in Syncronous mode using its own clock. Once you've done this, you can turn on the Behringer to check it out. The DEQ2496 is by far the hardest part of this whole process. Push the I/O button on the behringer (right hand side, bottom center of 9-button matrix) to select the digital input. Rotate the select wheel to pick the "Dig In XLR input" Then play some music & make sure the meter on far left is moving. Use lower button beneath meter to display different meter screens. when tired of this...push RTA button on top of second column of buttons to show the frequency bars (response by frequency) More setup: * Push the tab button on upper left by screen to select the second screen, then used the middle button on the left to select "AES 3" * Pushed the tab button again to select the third screen, then selected the "RTA Mic" to use the microphone as the input for the RTA (Real Time Analyzer); note that there's a gain button here for the mike gain, if needed (lower left button) * Pushed the tab button for the fourth screen to confirm that there is no digital delay selected * Now you should set the unit to Dual Mono rather than Stereo. Push the "Utility" button on the lower left of the matrix of 9 buttons. Use the small scroll wheels to move up or down in the menu. Find the "Channel Mode" item, and rotate the large scroll wheel to "Dual Mono" and press to accept that setting Next post: Room equalization process -- HalleysComet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HalleysComet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14590 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48350 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
