ULTRA-GRAPH PRO GEQ3102  
1. INTRODUCTION  
Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER products by purchasing the  
ULTRA-GRAPH PRO GEQ3102. With the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO you have acquired an extremely musical and  
flexible 31-band Graphic Equalizer. This 2-channel high-end EQ is based on many years of experience and  
know-how gathered in filter technology. Our analog and digital equalizers are used throughout the world in  
renowned studios, sound reinforcement systems and broadcast/TV stations. The BEHRINGER  
ULTRA-GRAPH PRO was designed to meet the most stringent requirements in terms of operation, sound,  
specifications and workmanship.  
+
This manual first describes the terminology used, so that you can fully understand the  
ULTRA-GRAPH PRO and its functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it for future  
reference.  
1.1 The design concept  
The philosophy behind BEHRINGER products guarantees a no-compromise circuit design and employs the  
best choice of components. The operational amplifiers which are used in the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO, are  
exceptional. They boast extreme linearity and very low distortion characteristics. To complement this design  
the choice of components includes high tolerance resistors and capacitors, detent potentiometers and several  
other stringently selected elements.  
The ULTRA-GRAPH PRO uses SMD technology (Surface Mounted Device). These subminiature components  
adapted from aerospace technology allow for an extreme packing density to further improve the overall  
reliability. Additionally, the unit is manufactured in compliance with the ISO9000 certified management system.  
Fail-safe relays have been incorporated into the design of the BEHRINGER ULTRA-GRAPH PRO. These  
automatically and silently bypass the unit in the event of power supply disconnection or failure. These relays  
are also active at power-on to isolate the unit from potentially damaging power-on thump.  
1.2 Before you begin  
Your BEHRINGER ULTRA-GRAPH PRO was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging is designed  
to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging  
and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.  
+
If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the  
shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be granted.  
Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.  
The BEHRINGER ULTRA-GRAPH PRO fits into two standard 19" rack units of space. Please allow at least an  
additional 4" depth for the connectors on the back panel.  
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling and please do not place the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO  
on high temperature devices such as power amplifiers etc. to avoid overheating.  
+
Before you connect your ULTRA-GRAPH PRO to the mains, please make sure that your local  
voltage matches the voltage required by the unit!  
The mains connection of the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO is made by using the enclosed mains cable and a standard  
IEC receptacle. It meets all of the international safety certification requirements.  
+
Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection. For your own safety, never  
remove or disable the ground conductor of the unit or of the AC power cable.  
As standard, the BEHRINGER ULTRA-GRAPH PRO is installed with electronically servo-balanced inputs and  
outputs. The circuit design features automatic hum rejection for balanced signals, permitting trouble-free  
operation even at the highest operating levels. Externally induced power-line hum, etc. is thus suppressed  
effectively. The automatic servo function recognizes the presence of unbalanced connectors and adjusts the  
nominal level internally to avoid level differences between the input and output signals (6 dB correction).

1. INTRODUCTION  
 
ULTRA-GRAPH PRO GEQ3102  
You will find additional information in chapter 4 “INSTALLATION”.  
1.3 Control elements  
Fig. 1.1: The front panel of the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO  
The front panel of the BEHRINGER ULTRA-GRAPH PRO features six controls, six switches and 2 x 31 slide  
controls. Additionally, the GEQ3102 is equipped with two 12-digit LED meters. As all control elements are the  
same on both channels, this chapter deals with one channel only.  
1.3.1 The front panel  
Fig. 1.2: The front panel control elements

2
Use the I/O METER IN/OUT switch to toggle the meter between input and output level. When the switch  
is pressed, the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO displays the output level.  
The AUDIO IN/OUT switch enables/disables the entire Equalizer section in the audio path. As this is a  
relay-controlled hard-bypass circuit, the inputs/outputs are directly connected as soon as the switch is  
released or the unit is switched off. Use the AUDIO IN/OUT switch to make A/B comparisons between  
direct and processed signals.  
3
The LEVEL METER monitors the signal level to warn you of distortion. Depending on the setting of the  
I/O METER IN/OUT switch, this meter reads the input or output level (switch pressed). The red CLIP  
LED lights up at about +18 dB, i.e. 3 dB below clipping.  
+
Please note that extreme frequency boost in combination with high input levels can lead to  
distortion. In this case, it will be necessary to reduce the input level with the INPUT control.  
4
5
The INPUT control adjusts the input level within a range from -15 to +15 dB.  
The LOW CUT control determines the lower cutoff frequency of the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO. The high  
pass filter (18 dB/oct.) can be set from 10 through 400 Hz, in position “10 Hz” the signal passes  
unaffected.  
6
The HIGH CUT control adjusts the upper cutoff frequency of the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO. The low pass  
filter (18 dB/oct.) can be set from 2.5 through 30 kHz, in position “30 kHz” the signal passes unaffected.  
1. INTRODUCTION

Use the high and low cut filters as highly efficient tools to limit the frequency range to be  
processed.

The RANGE switch allows you to switch over between maximum boost/cut in each frequency band,  
from 12 dB to 6 dB (switch pressed).  
These are the 31 SLIDE CONTROLS for each frequency band. If set to flat (“0”), there is no frequency  
response processing. To boost/cut a specific frequency move the corresponding slide control upwards  
or downwards respectively.

2. APPLICATIONS  
The flexible concept behind the BEHRINGER ULTRA-GRAPH PRO, with its great variety of audio processing  
features, opens up a whole new world of applications. We’d like to present you with a few examples in the  
following plus some typical settings.  
8
2. APPLICATIONS  
 
ULTRA-GRAPH PRO GEQ3102  
2.1 Master equalizer in sound reinforcement systems  
This is the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO’s probably most common field of application.  
Fig. 2.1: The ULTRA-GRAPH PRO as a master equalizer  
Please note the following points to achieve optimum results:  
Practice has shown that it will be useful to listen to some “unprocessed” music and speech material before you  
start equalizing your sound reinforcement system. If any distortion can be heard, try to eliminate it within the  
system. Speaker placement is also of importance. No equalizer can improve a system sound that lacks  
transparency due to reflections from walls and ceiling. Often, drastic improvements can be achieved by  
modifying speaker placement and alignment.  
If you are using an active multi-way system you should take some run-time and phase correction measures  
before you work with the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO (the crossover network BEHRINGER SUPER-X PRO CX3400  
provides all the necessary tools with its variable split frequencies, phase reverse switches and electronic run-  
time correction facility). Interference such as mains hum and narrow-band resonance should be eliminated with  
the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO, before you start doing a sound check.  
Once this basic setting has been made, you can continue to fine-tune the system by hand.  
Please remember:  
A linear response curve is not desirable for all kinds of application. For example, intelligibility is more important  
in speech applications: here, you should apply a slight roll-off in the bass range, because below the frequency  
range of voices there are no wanted frequencies but only interference (rumble, etc.).  
In general, extremely low and high frequencies are transmitted with much lower amplitudes. There is no sense  
in “forcing” a small full-range speaker to reproduce frequencies below 50 Hz; apart from a need for higher  
power reserves, speaker damage will be the most likely result.  
+
You should always take the physical limits of your system into account, no matter which  
settings you choose.  
Once the system has been adjusted as precisely as possible to produce the desired response curve, you  
should walk around the room to get an impression of the sound produced in various places. Remember to  
make regular breaks during these listening tests and to play back various music and speech programs, so  
that you get a feel for the response characteristics of your system and of the room.  
2. APPLICATIONS

ULTRA-GRAPH PRO GEQ3102  
+
Good equalizer settings require time and patience! If you need to use extreme EQ settings to  
achieve an acceptable frequency response, the reason might be some serious misalignment of  
sound reinforcement system or room acoustics.  
Equalizers cannot make up for poor audio systems, but they are extremely useful and efficient tools for making  
musical fine-adjustments, as this often produces astounding improvements in terms of acoustic power and  
overall sound quality.  
2.2 Equalizer in the monitor path  
To use the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO in the monitor path, you should basically follow the same procedure as  
described in section 2.1.  
On stage, you should keep volume levels as low as possible, because:  
1. this will protect your ears,  
2. avoid feedback problems, and  
3. make it easier to create a well-balanced FOH sound.  
Often, the volume of the monitors is raised during concerts. Use concert pauses to reduce the levels of all  
monitor paths by about 3 dB. The musicians on stage will hardly notice this reduction (or even not at all),  
because their hearing, too, can relax a bit during the break. This method will give you valuable headroom.  
Extremely low frequencies are usually faded out completely, to avoid a stage sound that lacks transparency  
due to low frequency feedback. Apply the low cut filter until extremely low-end feedback frequencies are  
eliminated and the overall transparency of the monitors is improved.  
Fig. 2.2: Several ULTRA-GRAPH PRO’s as part of a monitor system  
This illustration gives you an example of how to use several ULTRA-GRAPH PRO’s in an 8-way monitor  
system.  
2.2.1 “Tuning in” of a monitor system  
“Tuning in” describes the process of detecting and suppressing feedback frequencies. Once all microphones  
and monitor speaker (plus power amps) have been set up and adjusted, you should turn up all Aux Send  
controls in those channels of your console that you will need for the monitor mix. Then, turn up the master Aux  
Send control until the first feedback occurs. Turn the control down a bit and leave it where there is no  
feedback. Now turn up the single slide controls on your ULTRA-GRAPH PRO, one after the other. Whenever  
feedback occurs, set the slide control of the respective frequency range to maximum cut. When there is no  
feedback, leave the control in mid-travel position. Finally, you can turn up the master Aux Send control without  
running the risk of audible feedback.

2. APPLICATIONS  
 
ULTRA-GRAPH PRO GEQ3102  
2.3 Using the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO in the studio  
In the studio you can use your ULTRA-GRAPH PRO in a variety of further applications. Your imagination is the  
only limit. Here are just a few examples:  
Equalizing monitoring speakers:  
You can graphically equalize your monitoring speakers. Additionally, narrow-band room resonance frequencies  
can be suppressed with the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO. An analyzer (for example, the one integrated in our digital  
Equalizer ULTRA-CURVE PRO DSP8024) helps you identify room resonance and produce a linear frequency  
response.  
General sound processing:  
Equalizers can be used to process both single-channel and master signals. To process a single signal, you  
should use the channel insert point on your console to connect the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO. To control several  
signals, use either a Subgroup or Main Mix insert point. In particular, mastering studios frequently work with  
Equalizers to refine the sound of a finished mix. Often, the mix lacks balance, i.e. some frequencies are too  
loud or cannot be heard at all. With a Graphic Equalizer you can align the differing amplitudes of frequency  
ranges to create a homogenous sound image.  
Chapter 3 (“THE SOUND TOOL”) provides useful information on how to process typical frequency ranges of  
voices and instruments.  
3. THE SOUND TOOL  
In recording studios as well as stage or radio plays, the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO will be your valuable sound tool  
to modify the sound of voices (e.g. telephone voice) or to filter instruments so that they fit in an existing mix.  
The tables on the following pages give you an idea of specific frequencies and their acoustic significance,  
and suggest some possible uses of your ULTRA-GRAPH PRO.
