How does the BFD compare to the Velodyne SMS-1?

[blownrx7]

OR the Outlaw Audio ICBM for that matter?
I have no experience with these two. I was just wanting to know if anyone has tried them as well and what their thoughts were.
TIA

The Outlaw ICBM is an outboard bass management processor (capable of having independent crossover points for all channels, if I recall). Since it is not an equalizer, it doesn’t “compare” to the DSP-1124 at all. As to the Velodyne, I believe one of our members, russ.will has used both. Maybe he can weigh in.

Yeah... Russell and verify... seems like there was a thread on this.


Ah... BINGO!

BFD v SMS-1

Biggest difference.... about $400.

Ah, thank you! I should have assumed this question was already asked and answered...

One of the reasons I sold the SMS-1 for a Behringer unit was because of the supposedly measured rolloff the SMS-1 suffers from below 20Hz. I was never able to confirm this myself other than from one possibly erroneous measurement. My questions to Velodyne were acknowledged but no answer provided.

Some of the guys on AVFourms got together to do a test between the two. Apart from the technical aspect they also assessed usability and set up. Russell.will was one of them!

Here is the thread.

Very Nice! Thank you.
Being an owner of the BFD already, I'll suffer through the longer setup/execution times.
It is nice to see that you would obtain the same result.

Tis ok malice, im the quiet lurking type

I quite liked the sms-1, but since id still find my self using REW even if i used one, i dont see the point in changing my bfd for one.
