Being rather out of touch with the latest gizmos, any recommendations for
a decent sounding graphic equaliser that won't break the bank? 1/3rd
octave type would be ideal.

The only equaliser I've noticed in recent years is the Behringer 96k24 one.
However I have no idea of how well it works.

Lots of these things in second hand shops. Marantzz JVC, Even goodmans, wash
my mouth out.

Many of those don't have a terribly impressive performance. I was more
thinking of a digital type - but they weren't around at reasonable prices
when I was working in that sort of field. So was hoping for info from
someone who still is.

AIUI The Behringer EQ 96k24 does have spdif in/out as well as analogue.
When I had a look at the manuals a long time ago it looked fairly flexible.
But I've never actually seen or used one, so have no idea how good it is in
reality. Nor have I looked at any alternatives.

Do you want one for real-time playback or recording EQ? Or to manipulate
files? There may be alternative approaches. e.g. Audacious has a simple
'graphic equaliser'. And sox will let you do something similar to files.
May also do it for playback I think. Perhaps not suitable for your
situation but sox is well designed from the POV of avoiding digital
processing defects.

I want a self contained unit for 'studio' use. Preferably with a choice of
balanced/unbalanced analogue inputs. Digital in and out not required -
although would be ok as a plus.

There are lots on the market for PA etc applications - just wondered if
anyone had hands on experience of the various makes. My experience of
Behringer (and others of that ilk) is some of their products are very
good, others not so. But all reasonably priced.

The Behringer (DEQ2496) seems for analogue to have balanced XLR in and out,
plus a couple of jacks out. To me it looks pretty good, but this is only on
paper as I've never tried one.

Look out for Klark Teknik DN360 31 band - two channels.
Not a "latest gizmo"- but a British studio analogue work-horse with a
20 year pedigree. Ubiquitous and still in production.

Nice piece of kit if you can find one at a good price, £400 seems to be the
present second hand value
