Thank you
Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in our products by purchasing one of our equalizers. This 2-channel high-end equalizer was designed with our experience and know-how in filter technology spanning many years. Our analog and digital equalizers are used the world over in various reputable studios, P.A. systems and radio and TV stations. Just like with the rest of our product line, when we started designing the new ULTRAGRAPH PRO
models, we had put forth uncompromizing demands in terms of controls, sound, technical data and fit-and-finish quality.

1.Introduction
FBQ Feedback Detection System
The FBQ Feedback Detection System is one of the most outstanding characteristcs of our graphic equalizers. This ingenious circuitry lets you immediately recognize and eliminate feedback frequencies. The FBQ Feedback Detection System
uses the LEDs in the frequency band faders to indicate the critical frequencies. This way, what once used to be a labor-intensive search for feedback frequencies is now an activity that even a child could master.
In normal operation, the fader LEDs indicate frequency ranges with the highest energy levels, therefore replacing a separate audio analyzer. If you keep an eye on the LEDs while you play back your music (or during the sound check before a show), you can easily identify those frequency ranges showing the highest energy levels. Similarly, increased signal levels on individual frequency bands indicate a higher likelihood that feedback may occur.
All three models feature a dedicated subwoofer output with adjustable cut-off frequency. You can also adjust the fader range from ±6 to ±12 dB for each channel independently.
The FBQ1502 requires just one rack space, yet it offers you tons of effective methods for adjusting the sound characteristics, and is ultra-compact and extremely simple to operate.
The FBQ3102 features 31 frequency bands per channel as well as adjustable high-pass and low-pass filters. These filters further augment the adjustability options available to you.
With its integrated limiters, noise generator and the adjustable subwoofer output with signal level display and its 62 lighted 45 mm faders, the FBQ6200 is our top model in this category.
Future-oriented BEHRINGER technology
To assure the highest possible degree of usability, all our equipment is manufactured adhering to the highest quality standards in the audio industry. Your equalizer has been manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system.
Relay-controlled hard bypass
The so-called hard bypass relays were integrated into the development concept of the FBQ6200 and the FBQ3102. These relays assure that your equalizer is automatically switched into bypass mode in the event of loss of power or faulty power delivery. These fail-safe relays also produce a slight delay during powering up in order to avoid dangerous switch-on thumps.
Balanced inputs and outputs
The BEHRINGER ULTRAGRAPH PRO models feature electronic servo-balanced inputs and outputs. The servo function performs automatically,
recognizing when unbalanced signals are connected and internally converts the nominal signal level so that no signal level difference between input and output signals occurs (6 dB correction).
◊The following user’s manual is intended to familiarize you with the unit’s control elements, so that you can master all the functions. After having thoroughly read the user’s manual, store it at a safe place for future reference.
1.1 Before you get started
1.1.1 Shipment
The ULTRAGRAPH PRO was carefully packed at the factory to assure secure transport. Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical indications of damage.
◊Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well as the transportation company from which you took delivery of the unit. Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.
1.1.2 Initial operation
Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never place the ULTRAGRAPH PRO on top of an amplifier or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.
◊Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure you have selected the correct voltage:
The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains three triangular markings. Two of these triangles are opposite one another. The voltage indicated adjacent to these markings is the voltage to which your unit has been set up, and can be altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180°.
ATTENTION: This does not apply to export models that were for example manufactured only for use with 120 V!
◊If you alter the unit’s voltage, you must change the fuse accordingly. The correct value of the fuse needed can be found in the
chapter “Specifications”.
◊Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating without exception! The correct value of the fuse needed can be found in the chapter “Specifications”.
Power is delivered via the cable provided with the unit. All requiered safety precautions have been adhered to.
◊Please make sure that the unit is grounded at all times. For your own protection, you should never tamper with the grounding of the cable or the unit itself.
1.1.3 Warranty
Please take a few minutes and send us the completely filled out warranty card within 14 days of the date of purchase. You may also register online at behringer.com. The serial number needed for the registration is located on the
rear of the unit. Failure to register your product may void future warranty claims.
1.2 The user’s manual
The user’s manual is designed to give you both an overview of the control elements, as well as detailed information on how to use them. In order to help you understand the links between the controls, we have arranged them in groups according to their function. Should you need detailed information about specific topics not covered in this manual, please visit our website at behringer.com.
For example, additional information about power amps and effects processors is found there.
