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

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

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
9
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.

Any product deemed eligible for repair or replacement by
BEHRINGER under the terms of this warranty will be repaired or
replaced within 30 days of receipt of the product at BEHRINGER.

comply with applicable technical or safety standards on a national

materials or workmanship. The warranty does not cover any
such modification/adaptation, irrespective of whether it was
carried out properly or not. Under the terms of this warranty,
BEHRINGER shall not be held responsible for any cost resulting
from such a modification/adaptation.
