I saw a big tutorial on the BFD, but can't remeber who had it...
it seems there was a link to download test tones/signal sweeps too.
Anybody?

Sonnie Parker is the BFD expert. You might search on his name. I'll mention to him to post here.

I sent an e-mail to Bob U. a week or so ago to buy a BFD, but haven't heard back from him. Anybody know if he's still around, or at the same E-mail address?

Somebody ring?
Oh... I'm too late... sorry bout that.
ops:
If you need any help with the BFD just holler loud and maybe I'll hear ya, although the guide should pretty much over do it for you.
Btw... I'm not really an expert. I just put all the pieces from experts together in one place. Of course with all I wrote and all the experience I had while verifying a lot of what I wrote, I did become acquainted with the BFD rather well. None the less I find myself referring back to the guide quiet often. Short memory (that's why I wrote it all down!) :roll:

Thanks much for all your hard work.
A friend of mine is having some snags with room accoustics and levels, he is using a set of Infinity speakers with their built in RABOS system - a single band parametric eq that helps to do the same thing as 1/10 of the BFD, but he was also interested in the test tones/signal sweeps that you have.
I took the liberty of linking to your "FAQ" from another forum, He may be in touch with you. His name is John Golitsis.
I am using a PSB Century 2i (essentially and old Subsonic 6 sub) and am also thinking of using the BFD, there are some freq. in my rec-room that just seem to drone... and they actaully aren't Mrs. Bent's voice, LOL.
I'm debating whether it would be worth it to add a 300 dollar CDN BFD to support a 300 dollar CDN (resale) sub...Comment

You are quiet welcome Mr. Bent! It was all actually fun when I was taking 6 months to do it. Now I look back and wonder sometimes if I was crazy.
The sinewaves are mostly 10 second tones with fade in and fade out to prevent possible popping. There are a few sweeps there for those with Spectra Plus or ETF software.
No problem on the linking as it's linked in several forums. I still get a bunch of e-mails in reference to the site or with questions.
The BFD is wondermous on those peaks... and with -48db and 24 filters to work with you can tame a huge mountain. $300CDN... ouch! US retail is only $130. (It may be more now... I have not verified this lately.)
Hey... you could tune in the same frequency and Mrs. Bent's voice and pump it up to cover up her yelling at you. That might get out of the sub frequency range though, I know it would with my wife. lol

Hi folks,
Just noticed this thread. Actually, not here often any longer, but sionce my DVD player died last night, thought I'd come by and see what you folks were chatting about.

Oh, hey, Bob! I couldn't get that E-mail to work with several tries. Just my luck, of course, that after all that time when I actually order one I can't get through to you. Oh well, my loss!

How odd, Chris. I've had that email since 1986 and not much problem with it.
What's even more odd, it I just got email about replies to topics I have posted in here from months and months ago!!!

I just heard that Sonnie Parker and John Mulcahy set up a new website to support the Behringer Feedback Destroyer and Room EQ Wizard:

Now that our new HT construction is finished it was time to tune the system. Of course AVIA and the Rotel 1066 test tones were used to set speaker levels and check phase but what would any sub be without an ole trustworthy BFD? Well... I didn't build the perfect anechoic chamber so there's no doubt... -
I have spoken with Behringer and they have shown serious interest in designing a replacement for the BFD that is more suited to the consumer market. As many of you may already know... the DSP1124 has been discontinued. The replacement FBQ2496 only offers 1 preset and still doesn't get us many of the...

I just realized a few weeks ago when I changed my subs out to an IB that every time I recalibrated the levels I am messing up the BFD input level. I had long forgot about the input gain on the BFD and never really correlated the fact that the sub level and the reference LFE levels set in the Halo memory... -
Okay, it was only a month or so ago that a bunch of you purchased your BFD's.
Where's all the graphs?
Surely those BFD's are not sitting in the box like my MX-700 is. (Okay, I'll admit, I've been extremely lazy about setting up my remote.)
I believe it would...
