Are the Bose 802C / 402 system controllers anything other than glorified
EQs?

Cheers, Antony.

What's glorified about them? They're eq's. They are purpose built eq's meant to
correct frequency response problems in Bose speakers. Whether they do a good
job or not is open to discussion, but if you are thinking of replacing them
with a graphic eq, you may end up worse off by the time you duplicate all the
radical eq inside the Bose box with a bunch of 1/3 octave filters. The Bose
controller does the eq with the minimum number of filters they think they need.
If you want to replace it with a parametric you may do better, but why not just
use the Bose eq?

They are EQs with very dramatic curves. You can't get enough boost using
typical parametrics without doubling up filters.

I scanned the EQ curve of the 802C for someone in AAPLS. Here it is again:

I was toying with the idea of installing a Behringer UltraDrive Pro
DCX2496 unit to give me remote control (via a PC) of zones in the
building (curently done manually at the amp rack) as well as more
specific control (limiting, EQing) on given zones as well as a
controllable crossover when we occassionally use larger subs.

The current PA system is illustrated here :

My question regarding the Bose EQs was simply as to whether it would be
possible to remove them and have the UltraDrive do all the work. Given
comments to the nature of their extreme EQ curves leaving them in place
(after the UltraDrive) is probably wise.

Cheers, Antony.
