Adjusting dynamic EQ gain via click-and-drag

1.Click and hold on the numbered box at the top of the desired dynamic EQ band frequency line.

2.Move the cursor vertically up or down the frequency line to the desired gain level.

3.The layered EQ curves shown by the solid yellow line will adjust as you move the cursor up and down the frequency line. The virtual gain knob and gain dB displayed in the Control View will also simultaneously change as you move the cursor up and down frequency line in the Frequency Curve.

Dynamic EQ Control View

The Control View of the Dynamic EQ tab contains virtual knob controls for Gain, Threshold, Frequency, Quality (bandpass filter only). Exact parameter values appear in boxes below each virtual knob. These parameters may be altered by either adjusting the virtual knobs or by entering values directly in the parameter boxes.

Pull-down Type menus for each dynamic EQ band contain these additional options:

BP (bandpass filter)

LP6 (lo-pass filter, with a 6 dB slope)

LP12 (lo-pass filter, with a 12 dB slope)

HP6 (hi-pass filter, with a 6 dB slope)

HP12 (hi-pass filter, with a 12 dB slope) The Ratio pulldown menu offers four options:

1:2.0

1:3.0

1:5.0

1:10

Gain vs. Ratio

Positive gain settings result in a frequency boost at low signal levels and a nearly flat EQ response at high levels. Negative gain settings yield opposite results: at low signal levels, the EQ response is nearly flat, while higher signal levels receive increasing amounts of cut from the equalizer. The higher the Ratio setting, the more the equalizer will cut or boost the signal at different signal levels.

Programming a dynamic EQ

1.Choose an EQ type from the Type pulldown menu.

2.Set the dynamic EQ's band frequency by rotating the Frequency virtual knob. The programmed frequency can represent either the center frequency for band-pass (BP) mode, or the threshold frequency for low- (LP) and high-pass modes (HP).

3.For band-pass BP mode, control the width of the band-pass curve by rotating the Quality virtual knob parameter. High Qual values produce a narrow, steep curve, while low Qual values create a wide curve with a gentle slope.

4.Set the dynamic EQ’s band cut or boost by rotating the Gain virtual knob.

5.Set the signal threshold by rotating the Threshold knob.

6.Program your desired ratio by selecting from the Ratio pulldown menu. Similar to a compressor, higher ratio values yield a more intense equalization effect.

7.Adjust the attack (Attack) and release (Release) values by rotating each parameters respective virtual knob.

3.3.7 Setup

The Setup tab allows you to manage connections and settings for your iNUKE amps. Amp presets may be stored either on the iNUKE DSP or on the PC (presets stored on your PC may then be loaded onto any iNUKE amplifier).

PC Presets

The PC Presets section allows you to store iNUKE DSP presets on your computer instead of the iNUKE amp’s internal memory. The Load function allows you to upload presets from the computer, while the Save function stores the current iNUKE DSP settings to the computer (these files use a .arp filename extension).

Amp Presets

The Amp Presets section allows you to access and manage presets stored in the iNUKE amp’s internal memory. The amp’s internal memory holds up to 20 presets, and these 20 preset slots appear in the Amp Presets section as a numbered, double-column list showing the preset name and the preset’s signal routing configuration (DUAL, STEREO, BIAMP1, and so on). The preset currently in use will display an illuminated dot immediately to the preset’s left.

Note: Preset #1:INIT_DATA cannot be overwritten. Select this preset any time you want to restore the amp's default settings.

Recalling a preset stored in the amp’s internal memory

1.Click on the desired preset in the Amp Presets list. The dot to the immediate left of the selected preset will light up.

NU3000DSP, NU1000DSP, NU6000DSP specifications

The Behringer NU series, including the NU6000DSP, NU1000DSP, and NU3000DSP, represents a significant advancement in lightweight, high-performance power amplification. These amplifiers are particularly well-suited for live sound applications, installations, and professional audio environments, providing reliable power alongside cutting-edge features.

Starting with the NU6000DSP, it delivers a remarkable 6,000 watts of output power, making it an ideal choice for large venues and outdoor events. One of its standout features is the built-in Digital Signal Processor (DSP), which allows users to customize sound with precision. The DSP offers functionalities like equalization, crossover, and limiting, enabling users to tailor audio output for different settings and requirements. Additionally, the NU6000DSP has an efficient fan cooling system, ensuring optimal performance without overheating during long gigs.

Next in the lineup is the NU3000DSP, which provides up to 3,000 watts of power. This model retains many of the same advanced features as its higher-powered sibling, including the DSP capabilities. The NU3000DSP is favored by mobile DJs and small to medium-sized event spaces for its balance of power and portability. Its lightweight design, coupled with a durable construction, makes it easy to transport without sacrificing performance. Additionally, it includes a variety of input options, making it compatible with numerous audio sources.

Finally, the NU1000DSP, the most compact of the trio, delivers 1,000 watts of power. It is perfect for smaller venues or as part of a larger rig.
