Levels drop significantly with BFD


Hi gang:

First off, thanks for posting so much good info about BFD & REW. I'm familiar with the basic concepts but am new to the tools used to apply them.

After reading a number of posts, especially the one below, thought someone might have additional insight.

I also run an Onkyo 7.1 reciever with LFE line outs, and a Velodyne sub. Definintely never had issues with power - until hooking up the BFD. It seems I also cannot get the sub to respond with more than a bar or two on the level meter without cranking up volume severly north of normal.

The BFD is running in bypass mode, I just reset the box to factory settings, cleared all filters from preset 4, and the button is pressed in.

What could be some causes of a 20-30db difference in output with only the BFD added?

Thanks for the help,
Andy
