Actually, this is what I would recommend: 1) get a high quality analog EQ. Basically, you go from the analog outputs of the Transporter/SB3 to the EQ and then to the amps. Klark-Teknik and Audient make fantastic EQs.
2) For perhaps slightly less fidelity...and I say perhaps...use something like the Rane 60L, which I had for a while and with which I was happy. It has a "perfect Q" mode for the sliders, which makes adjustments easy. Analog in, ADC/Processor/DAC and analog to the amps. It's really quite good. 3) For quite a more money, something like the DEQX preamp system. It is ridiculously versatile. I've heard it and the TacT systems...although they were in different homes, the speakers were similar and I gave DEQX the edge. So do quite a few people. Extremely versatile. Yes, I think the Transporter has only a word clock input. Personally, I'd keep it simple: try an analog EQ. I know a highly respected reviewer who uses an inexpensive graphic eq of the analog sort...and nobody can tell when it's in or out of the system. totoro;133903 Wrote: > Let's suppose that you have decided to use a deq (the behringer or > something fancier). > > If you use the transporter, you'll have to do digital out to the deq, > and then digital in back to the transporter.
