Behringer Dsp 1424 Ultramizer pro

The ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1424P confers the added value of 24-bit resolution to the already hugely popular ULTRAMIZER PRO DSP1400P, plus much more. Its powerful new DSP engine lets you add multi-band, program-adaptive compression and limiting for both low and high frequencies while at the same time remaining absolutely “inaudible”. No matter if you want to increase the loudness of your mastering recording or double the loudness of your PA system without adding more amplifier power, the DSP1424P is the perfect tool. A peak limiter protects against any clipping and dangerous sound pressure levels and the built-in 3D stereo surround processor provides unbelievable spatial enhancement and improved stereo imaging, giving your mixes that often sought-after extra “gloss”, while the noise reduction system keeps things clean. Despite the sheer scope of added functions and improved functionality, the DSP1424P is still super easy to use and operate, letting nothing come between you and your music. A free WINDOWS® editor is downloadable at BEHRINGER’s website.

Harmony Central Review: Behringer Dsp1424

July 23, 2003
Just one of 13 new products Behringer unveiled at NAMM, the Ultramizer Pro DSP1424P (USD 129.99 MSRP), is designated as the successor to the DSP1400P. This automatic 2-band digital loudness maximizer and sound program enhancer system enables separate, program-adaptive compression and limiting, ensuring punch and loudness. The new ULTRAMIZER now features dual-engine 24-bit processing with 48 kHz sampling rate. The unit is currently shipping worldwide.

The new ULTRAMIZER’s 24-bit A/D and D/A converters with 64/128 times oversampling provide high headroom and resolution. It divides the spectrum into two bands prior to performing the dynamic functions, while variable band-split compression reduces any gain intermodulation effects. In addition, the DSP1424P features a DENOISER. Its 3D stereo surround processor provides spatial enhancement and improved stereo imaging. The implemented super bass enhancer and built-in exciter add to the powerful punch by psycho-acoustic manipulation of your program material. An intelligent peak limiter protects against any clipping and dangerous sound pressure levels. The ULTRAMIZER features full MIDI capability, allowing real-time parameter control and program selection. Servo-balanced inputs and outputs on gold-plated XLR and TRS connectors are provided.
