3 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P FOREWORD Dear Customer, Welcome to the team of ULTRAMIZERPRO users and thank you very much for expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER products by purchasing this unit.
4 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P DSP1424P ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P Ultra high-performance digital multiband loudness maximizer / sound program enhancer powered by a 24-bit DSP.

6 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P 1. INTRODUCTION The BEHRINGER ULTRAMIZERPRO is a digital sound processing device based on a sophisticated DSP, using 24 bit A/D and D/A converters.
7 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P The mains connection of the ULTRAMIZERPRO is made by using the supplied cable. It meets all of the international safety certification requirements.
8 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P 5 Next to the display, the appropriate unit lights up to indicate the correct value which is being edited. These eight LED illuminated units are very important with keys which can represent more than one parameter.
9 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P b) When pressed a second time the SENSITIVITY can be adjusted (SENS will light up in the display). This governs the sensitivity of the dynamic high cut filter and how it reacts to the input signal. The value ranges from 0 to 100.

11 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P Despite this unbelievable processing power the DSP1424P can be intuitively operated with an audio quality previously unimaginable. 2.1 .1 The Ultramizer function With the Ultramizer function you can increase the loudness and density of the program material.
12 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P 2.1 .3 The Exciter function The ULTRAMIZER PROs exciter function adds transparency and depth to the audio signal. Classical music material gains transparency and musicality while popular music keeps the desired brilliance.
13 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P + The optimal adjustment of the SENSITIVITY parameter depends on the type of noise and program material. Take the time to set the SENSITIVITY parameter with care.
14 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P + Whenever you have edited a preset and pressed the PRESET key three times, all previous settings in this preset are erased and overwritten with the new parameter values. However, if you wish to keep the original preset, use the jog wheel to select another preset before you press the PRESET key a third time.
15 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P The MIDI button LED flashes signaling that SYSEX data is being received. d2 will enable the ULTRAMIZERPRO to send a bulk dump. Start your sequencer and press PRESET on the unit to start the transmission. If you press the IN/OUT key again on the sixth page, the ULTRAMIZERPRO quits MIDI setup mode.
16 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P 3.2 .1 The ULTRAMIZERPRO in analog recording In the recording and duplication field the goal should always be to achieve an optimum recording level onto the recording media. Too low or too high recording levels lead to side effects such as noise, distortion etc.
17 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P 2. Therefore, in addition, you should also use the ULTRAMIZER function. It is recommended that the com- pression is limited to the first 6 dB of the dynamic range only. You can monitor the gain reduction with the help of the GR LO and GR HI gain reduction meters.
18 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P can overload the power supply in the amplifier(s). The resulting clipping (cutting off of signal peaks) produces distortion (upper harmonics), which is abruptly added to the midrange/tweeter signals. For this reason, weak power amps, in particular, must be protected by a limiter in their input dynamics.
19 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P With television broadcasts varying volume levels can cause problems: Announcements, jingles, dialog and background music can differ strongly in level. Here, too, the ULTRAMIZERPRO can level out these differences in the program material and can thus provide a constant volume.
20 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P 3. 7 The ULTRAMIZERPRO in a MIDI setup Owing to the integrated MIDI interface you can fully control the DSP1424P in a MIDI setup. The ULTRAMIZERPRO can both receive and transmit program changes and controller changes. Wire the unit as follows.
21 ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P 4. INSTALLATION Your BEHRINGER ULTRAMIZERPRO was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging was 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 in transit.
