You can follow this post to: this frequency response analysis of the programmable BDDI. You'll see that there is no one simple answer to your question. Not sure if yours will be identical though.

Thanks Charlie. I PM'd Tech 21 and will be curious to know their answer... will post here.

Tech 21 says plus or minus 80Hz on the bass knob. I remember emailing Behringer the same question about their ADI21 and they said 80HZ as well. Copying Catting B******ds!

Anyway, I just bought a paradriver so now I have variable mids to put back some of the scooped mids, if need be.

I get a more mid-range tone on my BDDI by just lowering the bass/treble controls and upping the level. I keep treble at around 8 o'clock, bass at 10 o'clock, raise level to account for volume drop. Also run presence at about 2 o'clock for a little bit more high mid grit.

Similar to what Charlie is saying... From Tech 21:

I should probably explain a bit more. The EQ points on the Bass Driver and Para Driver are not the same as a fixed EQ point on say a mixer or graphic EQ. As the control is adjusted the center point changes and there is a pretty broad sweep. The entire shape of the EQ is changed. It's tuned to be musically beneficial for instrument use vs a more narrow type of EQ that is used to adjust specific frequencies. For instance many parametric EQ's will have a very narrow "Q." This allows you to notch a very specific EQ frequency in order to get rid of feedback or an unmusical node etc.
