Behringer DEQ 2496 help


Does anybody know where in the menu I'd find an input gain/attenuation control? I've run optical out of my DVD player into the DEQ then analog out to my Harmon Kardon AVR7200 which I am using as a pre. I am trying to utilize the DACs in the DEQ, the way it is hooked up now I am getting a fairly high signal with the clip lights flashing on the DEQ once in a while. It does sound much better and I don't hear anything out of the ordinary when the signal clips. Is it OK to run like this or am I missing something? Any suggestions would be great, thanks in advance!

CW, Push the Utility menu button and look for the Gain Offset control.

I am thinking that the Gain Offset value would be saved in different memory presets, so you could use memory presets to associate different gain settings with different sources.

I've played with different gain settings, but now I just let the red lights flash. They tug at my conscience a little bit, and I am concerned that hifi-savvy visitors will think I'm a loser, but I simply do not hear any distortion.

In a thread many months ago where this topic came up, someone said that the signal that most pro gear would send into the equalizer is of lower amplitude than that of consumer gear. Beats me.
