| Preventing BFD overload
I didn't know exactly where to put this thread so I thought I'd start here.
I've always tried to be religious about not letting my 1124's meters get into the red and clipping so I've kept the LFE output on my Sony 930 receiver at -8dB. Been watching Transformers this morning, and had to change the setting in order to keep the BFD from overloading. It is now at -10dB. I hope that's enough because there is no lower setting. And I thought WotW was bass heavy!
Am I right in doing this? I've read that digital distortion can be really bad. Does anyone else monitor their BFD to make sure that it's not clipping and/or distorting? BTW none of filters I'm using add anything. All are used to subtract level from their specified bands. Oh, and I turned up the sub just a smidge to compensate.
