I've also been interested in the Behringer unit to help to tame some bass nodes in my room. However, I have seen folks criticize the EQ method for dealing with such things on the grounds that it only deals with the level of given frequencies but can do nothing about time (i.e. the fact that room nodes are really the room 'hanging onto' certain frequencies longer than should be the case). The result, so it is said, is that you have just created a 'hole' at a certain frequency and done nothing to treat the real cause of the problem. The apparent overhang of a note is reduced but the problem still remains.
Such people typically recommend (with good reason I suppose) that room treatments be used to deal with bass nodes. However, how many of us are able to use room treatments in our family/living rooms? Doemestic tranquility will surely suffer in many cases. Moreover, how many folks have rooms dedicated solely to listening?
Anyone here have thoughts and/or experience with this?
Thanks,
Joe
