The 1124 is fine for subs. If you want to tackle the mains, the 2496 or the Yamaha would be better. You'll also need outboard amplification if you want to EQ the mains. As you can see, mains EQ gets pricey in a hurry, so it's best to get some full-range graphs to see if it would be any benefit to you. It might be cheaper to just get a new receiver that has built-in auto EQ.


Typically that's nothing more than a calibration issue - adjusting the sub's level to blend with the mains.

if i were to purchase the yamaha ydp 2006 over the bdp1124 (strictly over brand loyalty issue)could you help me set up subs with it?i notice rew has the 1124 as an option,so i worry with the 2006 i would need more support setting it up?is ther any advantage of the 1124 over the 2006 as far as setting up subs?

Looks normal in the impulse response windows to me. Your soundcard looks to be introducing some noise (higher measurement before 0) into the results, espically on the MBM, but distortion (spikes before 0 caused by soundcard) looks low enough. I might try reducing the input on the mic some to see what happens with the MBM. I would say it is about right and fair to say they are accurate results and your not introducing any significant amount of distortion into your signal chain to the speakers, but I will see if anyone with more experience has to say something else about this.

Yes, we could help you set up a YDP2006. You would just use REW's generic filter settings, plug those into the YDP and fine tune per the response graph. The 1124 offers 12 parametric filters per channel versus 6 on the YDP. The 1124 also offers more options on bandwidth and Q versus the YDP. On the other had, the YDP offers high/low pass filters, shelving filters, and time delay options.

i just found a behringer dsp 1100 locally at a pawn shop.Will this meet my needs?what is the difference between the 1100 and the 1124?

[jdeanmc]

o.k. so i think im going to buy the dsp 1100.so other than the adapters that i see i need,is there anything else i need to connect two subs to the bfd?my 3.3 ho and mbm12 are now connected via a y cable to the sub out of the reciever.so how do i calibrate /eq each sub once i connect it to the bfd 1100?

[weverb]

You will do it like you have only one sub.

O.k.so i did pick up the Dsp1100 up today at lunch.
Ill try to get it hooked up tonight or over the weekend and see what kinda mess that i can make with this thing.

[jdeanmc]

ill hook the bfd up tomorrow night,just didnt have time tonight.
So im in need of any help available.
I saw a post a few weeks ago with pretty basic step by step instructions on applying filters,now i cant locate it.Im not sure i have a total grasp on where exactly i need to apply the filters,i do know i want as few as possible,i also want a house curve as ive always felt the bass was lacking.
Where is the thread?
Or if you prefer ,maybe some of you bfd/rew experts can schedule a time for some "live"supportwhere i perform steps"turn on bfd"then post and get instant replies

There are directions on Page 2 of the BFD Guide ("Setting Filters Manually"), starting below the graph. There are links for the house curve articles there as well. Scroll up to the top of this page for the link to the BFD Guide.

Forgot to mention, if REW is set to "BFD 1124" under the "Equaliser" column, it will tell you exactly what filter values to enter into the BFD. Takes out all the guesswork.
