Just looking at a Behringer Mic 800 microphone preamp I have here, it has an adjustable low cut that goes down to 15hz. On the back it has a line level input and output.

The only thing that has me worried is the input gain dial that goes from +22db to +60db, would this be bypassed when using the line level input?

Can I stick this in the signal chain of my sub to use the subsonic filter??

I suggest you get a device designed for your needs. Jimmy rigging doesn't always work out well.

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=266-278 will do the job alright.

http://myworld.ebay.com/hlabsusa/ have many options for budget shoppers.

I need an adjustable low cut, not fixed like the fmods, and they only seem to go down to 20hz, my tuning point is around 16hz. At that price I might give them a try anyway, thanks mate.

Just tried to buy the Fmod, PE has a $50 minimum order and the ebay seller will only take credit card via paypal (I dont have a credit card).

Can these be purchased anywhere else??

Amazon sells them.

Australia may have something more local. I don't know where abouts you are.

Does Reckhorn do business down under?

If you can afford a DCX 2496 that would be the best way to go. It's got everything you need to make a great system.

I emailed Reckhorn earlier today, I can get an S1 from HK but it was around $170 Australian, the 2496 retails for $600 here so thats out. I already have a BFD the only thing I need is a subsonic filter.

I'll try the Fmod and if that doesn't work out I might go for the Reckhorn.

Amazon wont take paypal, I'm waiting to hear back from the ebay seller.

so...why don't you use the BFD as your sub-sonic filter too?

 

[lsiberian]

Does the BFD have a high pass filter? I was unaware of one.

Does the BFD have a high pass filter?

No.

No.

my bad...i was under the impression the BFD could program any manner of filters (HP, LP, Notch, etc)

The Reckhorn B1 might be a cheaper solution for a high pass filter.

High pass for a sub can be done with an opamp and a handful of Rs and Cs, depending on the slope.

The reckhorn HK seller only carries the S1, not the B1.

Kal, can you point me to a site with more info on that??
