Otto,


Quote:
The shelving filters are offered at 6 dB or 12 dB per octave. And I believe the graphic EQ has a range of +/-15 dB. Does anyone know if these add when they are used concurrently?
If your asking of one will affect the properties of the other, the answer is yes.

Quote:
Has anyone felt limited by the bandwidth applicable to the PEQ? The BFD offers 1/60 octave steps while the DEQ "only" offers 1/10 octave steps.
Not a problem. There is no good reason to equalize a sub with filters smaller than 1/6-octave.

Any comments from users? Does it sound different from the BFD?
With subs, there’s really no way that it could. Any audible difference would be with the mains.

I agree with Terry - as long as this is for the sub, there's no functional reason to pay the extra money. If you're smitten with the display - that's another thing altogether.

Regards,
Wayne
