Subs with room correction DSP?


I'm in the market for a sub or two, but this time I want a system that will take a microphone reading of the room and give me a correct setting for the sub. 
I've seen these in the past but can't remember who was making them,
Thanks

The Elac Varro series has automated room correction, though I don’t know the details (how many bands it adjusts, for example). Review here. I believe it takes its measurements with a smartphone or tablet.

The SVS models come with an app with three PEQ points, but you need to measure them independently to make the settings. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are iPad apps for measuring frequency response, but I don’t know for a fact.

The apps are a definite improvement over running back and forth, which gets tiresome and breaks concentration.

 

I believe SVS and now Hsu offer some sort of app that lets you configure the sub from your listening location.

I don't know about Hsu, but I have two SVS subs. The app includes PEQ, phase, level, polarity, low-pass filtering, and more. All configuration can be done from the listening chair.
