Thaddeus Smith Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I bought the behringer device from the title about 6 years ago, with the intent of using it on my cinema f-20 sub, but the whole process was way over my head. Now I've got 3 subs (two of which are acting as one) and I'm looking to do some DSP work now and curious if it's worth buying the minidsp 2x4 and suitable plugin or just sticking with what I already have. my AVR has audyssey XT32 with sub eq and two sub preouts. i have two qsc plx1202 amps to drive the three subs. one sub preout is routed to 1 qsc plx channel for the f-20. one sub preout is routed to the other qsc plx using parallel mode so that both channels receive the same signal, but operate independently from a power perspective, for the two spuds. they're physically located next to each other, so I have them gain matched and essentially acting as one. the BFD can be autoconfigured from REW using a usb>midi adapter and the minidsp can be autoconfigured via usb. Most of the google results are quite old, so I figured I would poll this group before going out and buying something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I will say that the MINIDSP was very easy to use for sub integration. However, if REW offers setup/integration with your BFD, then I would use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 You need to pull the 5dB hump down between 50 and 60 Hz. Don't try to boost the low spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Nod. It's evident I need some room treatments as well, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less reflected sound will clean things up. Put them at first reflection points to start and ALWAYS re-run your room correction software after every change you make to the room.

It drives Morgan insane since it's a whole ritual of change > measurement > sample movies/music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman0122 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) The MiniDSP should give you flexibility in sub location in regards to the two being treated as one. With your current setup, you're limited to co-locating them, or having to be equidistant to your listening position. The MiniDSP can time align the two freeing them from the aforementioned restrictions, and give you more control over room response of the three subs. I'm not sure however if the BFD is capable of the same thing. I have a MiniDSP and it was fairly simple to set up.

Thaddeus Smith Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Fair enough. i'm limited to co-locating the two SPUDS purely from a space/layout perspective. the 3rd sub is in its spot for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
