Digital Drive DSP-based subwoofers are the finest subwoofers ever made by Velodyne. They embody all of Velodyne’s industry-leading knowledge and experience in low frequency technology. Velodyne pioneered the use of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for subwoofers. This technology provides incredibly accurate, reliable, and feature-laden performance.
The software that runs Digital Drive subwoofers was 100% custom-written by Velodyne engineers for the best possible sound quality. Digital Drive-Series subs feature Velodyne's revolutionary Digital Drive room management software that takes subwoofer room equalization to an unprecedented level. The built-in Real Time Analyzer (RTA) allows the subwoofer's frequency response to be measured using a calibrated microphone and viewed graphically on any standard TV. The onboard digital toolset, which includes a graphic equalizer, is used to optimize performance for any room position and to perfectly blend the subwoofer with the main speakers.
All Digital Drive-Series subs come preprogrammed with six listening mode presets for Action Adventure Movies, Rock/Pop, Jazz/Classical, a custom preset, and EQ defeat. Each preset also has a “theater/music” setting that allows the sub to play louder (for movies) or tighter (for music) depending on the source content
