| BFD Guide Question?
Excellent write up. It helped me to get things moving forward and answered most of my initial questions. Much appreciated.
I did have one question concerning the following statement from the guide:
"NOTE: Something that you should remember to do when you are setting up your BFD is add a foot to the value you enter for sub distance in your pre/pro or receiver set up. The 1 msec DSP processing delay in the BFD would account for approximately a foot in distance."
Shouldn't you "subtract" a foot to make your receiver delay input accomplish the objective? If you sit 15 feet from the action and tell your receiver to delay the acoustic response 15 feet to correspond with sound arriving from the mains. If you add a foot, the delay will now be 16 feet - plus the processing delay of 1ms which essentially adds another foot. This gives you 17 feet of delay when the objective was 15 feet.
On the other hand, if you subtract 1 foot and enter 14 feet into the receiver, you will get 14 feet of delay plus the 1ms processing time which brings the total to 15 feet - the initial and desired objective.
I'm raising this question as a point of curiosity since most of us couldn't tell the difference one way or the other most likely.
Does this make sense or have I missed something... which is usually the case?
