| Musical subwoofer under $2000 "@kennyc Usually "musical" means enjoying the music as a whole but can also be at the expense of detail and accuracy. What you are looking for is an "articulate" subwoofer where the bottom notes sound like real instruments and not a boomy mess."... | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 To better understand what you mean by a "musical" low frequency producer. Imagine you had two units at your home for audition individually during the same session. They are both properly positioned in your spacious room and adjusted to a point we... | |
| Do you adjust your subwoofer Often. My subs came with a remote that controls all the subs Optimization parameters and its six customizable presets.. Slight volume adjustment are used mostly. Possibly one or two presets which embellish some aspects of the recordings low ... | |
| Velodyne sub missing remote @mofojo I forgot to mention. Sometime prior to the Optimum's release the company was becoming more aware of the importance of room integration and detailed placement experimentation as suggested in the manuals Placement section on page 2 prior t... | |

| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? @jomolu Something simple to try would be to rotate the driver 180 degrees, mindful of over tightening the fasteners. Even with no improvement it can hurt. | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? Thanks, I need to read the manual (already downlaoded a while ago). I believe the DD manual discusses sub positioning on an earlier page. This "TIP" on page 23 is incredibly important. It provides for the optimum sub to room interface which res... | |

| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? @emailists Are you saying there is new firmware for the DDplus series? Can you elaborate? I don't know. My DD Plus are 2.2.3. You might try an email to Velodyne Acoustics GmbH. I fixed a remote control by removing the batteries, carefully op... | |
| Considering a Second Subwoofer for the Front Hasn't Salk closed? With a four sub array I can't imagine your shooting for stereo. The mono room lock should be amazing. I did it using three different asymmetrically positioned subs and it worked just fine. If the master sub has remote control... | |

| Subwoofer Basics Help Your situation is why there’s a variety of -3dB subwoofers that offer High / Speaker level inputs with varying levels of EQ adjustments which aid in a variety of speaker and room pairings. With proper positioning they can offer more detailed integ... | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer drlou77 I don’t’ doubt your description of that comparison. Sadly, it’s now quite obvious how it came to be. Please read REL’s actual free trial policy from the link below. @drlou77 If I don’t like it he will give me a credit towards another mo... | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer @drlou77 Bought the REL S/510 today. Thanks for all your help! You helped yourself. After which ever Velodyne you were using you"ll see soon enough. Is there a REL free trial period? All the best. | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer SVS is primarily sold directly from the manufacturer. They can easily be adjusted and or positioned to sound less desirable than a REL. The REL is a -6dB sub-bass speaker equipped with only basic crossover, 2 position phase switch and volume. Bec... |
