3.Choose a Hold value either by rotating the Hold virtual knob or by entering a value (in milliseconds) into the matching text box below the knob.

4.Choose a Release value either by rotating the Release virtual knob or by entering a value (in milliseconds) into the matching text box below the knob.

3.3.5 Filter/Crossover

The Filter/Crossover tab displays and controls Filter/XOver module settings in two formats:

Frequency Curve—displays the filter curves in visual form, and allows click-and-drag manipulation of filter threshold points.

Control View—allows parameter tweaks via virtual controls, as well as pull-down menus for filter type and slope.

The Frequency Curve and Control View interact with each other and simultaneously shift as you change parameters in either view.

Filter/Crossover Frequency Curve Display

The Frequency Curve displays a frequency range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with 15 dB of cut/boost displayed on the vertical axis. Within this graphic field, the filter curve appears as a solid, colored line running from left to right. The line shifts and moves to reflect changing parameter values entered using the virtual controls and pull-down menus. Dotted vertical lines indicate frequency threshold points for the various filters, numbered 1 through 4, and these threshold points can be selected and moved through the frequency spectrum using the mouse or trackpad.

Moving filter thresholds via click-and-drag

1.Click and hold on the numbered box at the top of the desired filter threshold line.

2.Drag the threshold line to the desired location on the frequency spectrum.

3.The filter curve shown by the solid line will move and adjust as you shift the threshold line. The virtual knob and frequency displayed in the Control View will also simultaneously change as you move the threshold line in the Frequency Curve.

Filter/Crossover Control View

The Control View of the Filter/Crossover tab contains virtual knob controls for Gain, High Pass filter, and Low Pass filter. 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 menus contain filter options for Type (Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz-Riley) and Slope (6–48 dB).

X-Over option for bi-amping

In Bi-Amp 1 and Bi-Amp 2 modes, the X-Over button appears on the Filter/ Crossover tab. Activating the X-Over button links the Low Pass 2 and High Pass 3 filter controls and automatically creates a synchronized crossover point for bi-amped low frequency and high frequency signals.

Setting a linked crossover frequency

1.Activate the Bi-Amp 1 or Bi-Amp 2 settings on the Configuration tab.

2.Click on the Filter/Crossover tab.

3.Click on the X-Over button on the Filter/Crossover tab. The X-Over button will light up and overlapping filter curves will appear in the Frequency Curve.

4.Set the crossover frequency by any of these methods:

a)drag the Low Pass 2/High Pass 3 threshold line to the desired frequency in the Frequency Curve by clicking and dragging;

b)adjust the Low Pass 2 or High Pass 3 virtual knobs;

c)Enter the desired frequency directly into the Freq. text box.

5.Select a filter curve from the Type dropdown menu below either the Low Pass 2 or High Pass 3 virtual knobs.

6.Select the desired curve steepness from the Slope dropdown menu.

3.3.6 Parametric EQ

The Parametric EQ tab displays and controls PEQ DSP module settings in two formats (similar to the Filter/Crossover tab):

Control View—allows parameter tweaks via virtual controls, as well as pull-down menus for EQ type (parametric, low shelving, and high shelving).

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. Despite its size, it features the same high-quality DSP technology, allowing users to maintain character and control over their sound. The NU1000DSP is designed with user-friendly controls and a clear LED indication for monitoring levels.

All three amplifiers utilize Class D technology, which contributes not only to their lightweight design but also to their energy efficiency. This technology minimizes heat generation while maximizing power output, ensuring that users receive optimal performance without the bulk of traditional amplifiers. Behringer’s NU series also includes comprehensive protection measures like short-circuit and thermal protection, safeguarding both the amplifiers and connected speakers.

In summary, the Behringer NU6000DSP, NU3000DSP, and NU1000DSP represent powerful, versatile solutions for various audio applications. Their combination of integrated DSP, Class D technology, and reliable performance makes them a popular choice for professionals seeking high-quality amplification in a variety of environments.
