BFD vs. ICBM (1 Viewer)

[LorenzoD]

Provided I am not mistaken, and that these two devices serve the same purposes in HT (taming your bass response), which one would you recommend? And why?

 

[ColinM]

I believe they are 2 different things:

BFD = Parametric EQ

ICBM = Line level bass management

 

[LorenzoD]

So, does that mean I could use both?

Would that be beneficial?

 

[ColinM]

Yes, you could.

ICBM's are for 6 channel bass management for SACD / DVD audio, I believe. This is a result of early SACD and DVD-A players lacking any bass management at all.

The sub line would run through the BFD for bass eq, although you could use EQ on all channels if you wish.

 

[John Kotches]

Exactly correct.

The typical use for the Behringer device is to prevent microphone feedback in a prosound environment, although it also finds use in the consumer arena as an inexpensive parametric EQ.
