The Basics of Bass: Real World Problems
No matter what brand of subwoofer, or how much you may have paid for it, the relationship between your
subwoofer and the room it's placed in dramatically affects the subwoofer's performance . Sub position, room shape .
and size always create anomalies in the subwoofer's frequency response that can leave the bass sounding weak or
almost non·existent in your listening position , and can wreak havoc in the interaction between the subwoofer and
the main speakers.
For the first time in an outboard processor, Velodyne's Subwoofer Management System can display these room
anomalies visually and provide all the tools needed to correct them , allowing you to optimize any sub's and your
system's bass performance regardless of the sub's position, where in the room you listen or the room's shape
and size .
Room Management Technology: Digital Drive
The Subwoofer Management System features Velodyne's revolutionary Digital Drive room management technology.
This Velodyne innovation allows any subwoofer's in-
room frequency response to be measured using a
calibrated microphone and to be viewed on any TV.
Using the on -board B-band digital parametric
equalizer you can easily automatically or, if you
prefer, manually optimize the subwoofer's
performance for any listening position in any room
right at your favorite seat.
