Product Description
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is at the heart of the Digital Power Slot (DPS) Series subwoofers providing less distortion, customized listening modes and the most output possible. All signal processing of this advanced, yet affordable subwoofer is managed digitally, and is controlled with a single touch of a button using the unique front touch-panel. Located on the panel are four convenient presets for Movies, R&B-Rock, Jazz-Classical and Games, as well as volume control and an exclusive Night Mode setting. The top panel of this incredibly elegant-looking subwoofer has 15 coats of high-glass, hand-buffed, black lacquer. The DPS Series consists of the DPS-10 with a 10" forward firing driver (8.2" piston diameter) and the DPS-12 with a 12" forward firing driver (9.9" piston diameter). The DPS Series subs easily outperform other subwoofers in their class in both quality and quantity of bass reproduction.

 comparing this to a Bose "bass module"... March 21, 2005

is like comparing a car to a tricycle!
Bose is a gazillion-dollar sham monster that lives on its mega-advertising budget and the sad ignorance of the consumer public. Anybody with an ounce of audio experience (read: who's ever directly compared virtually ANYTHING to Bose besides the cheapie generics or mass-produced brands like Kenwood) knows that. Just go to any audio forum like ecoustics dot com or home theater forum dot com and you'll see.
 Oh Boy, Probably world's best and most powerful subwoofer March 4, 2005

I replaced my Bose 12" subwoofer with this one and it's a monster compared to Bose sub. I got in at a very good price of $499 and oh boy, it's a steal at this price. Hail Velodyne !!
Great performance, not so great controls August 27, 2007

I am using this unit in a large room (20' x 30'). Velodyne recommends using two subwoofers for the space or a single larger unit, but the single unit performs very well in my opinion (I also don't want to be thrown out of the house!).
The controls, however, leave some to be desired. The volume level is indicated by a flashing LED. Faster flashing means higher volume, slower flashing means lower volume. But you don't know where you are in the range. A number display or a bar display would have been much better. In addition, this subwoofer has 4 modes of operation (movies, rock/jazz, ...), but I have a nice receiver that has all these features and I want to be able to bypass these modes on the subwoofer. Luckily, my receiver has a built-in automatic equalizer, so no matter what the setting is on the sub, the receiver compensates (as long as I don't change the mode on the sub).
