Need advice on sub EQ: BFD, etc.? - 08/07/03 01:35 PM
Hi all,
I recently purchased Avia and a RadioShack SLM and discovered that my Adire Rava sub response is about as far from being flat as is imaginable. Due to a combination of architecture, the danger posed by violent small boys, and the limits imposed by Tasteful Home Decor, I cannot move the unit more than a few inches in any direction.
I was about to throw in the towel, when I stumbled across some online discussion of using external equipment to equalize sub response, the least expensive variant apparently being the Behringer Feedback Destroyer (or BFD). Has anyone used this or any other such device with happy results? If so, what else is needed? I came across references to all sorts of additional expensive-sounding acronyms, such as ETF and RTA. And would I need an additional microphone, or could the RatShack SLM do the job?
Many thanks,
Rob
