How about this: 
ULTRACURVE PRO DEQ2496
http://www.behringer.com/DEQ2496/index.cfm?lang=ENG

"The ULTRACURVE PRO DEQ2496 is an ultra high-precision digital
24-bit/96 kHz EQ/RTA mastering processor. Its extremely high audio
performance makes it ideal for audiophile mastering and PA
purposes. There are 4 concurrently selectable EQ modules (31-band
graphic EQ, 10-band parametric EQ, Feedback Destroyer and three
dynamic EQs per channel)."

"The DEQ2496 also boasts balanced inputs and servo balanced outputs
with gold-plated XLR connectors, stereo aux output, AES/EBU and S/PDIF
inputs and outputs XLR and optical)."

I have used the older Behringer Ultracurve devices on PA systems 
for doing equalization and sometimes delay. 
I have not personally tried this new "PRO" version of the device.
