Troubleshooting and Service

Before seeking service for your amplifier or subwoofer, please re-check all systems. Following is a simple troubleshooting guide to assist you.

1.Verify that the unit is plugged in and power outlet used is active.

2.Is the power switch on?

3.Is the unit receiving an input signal from your source?

4.Have all controls (volume, crossover, phase, etc.) been properly set?

5.If the unit has been running at high levels, one of the protection circuits may be engaged. Has the amplifier overheated?

6.Make sure binding posts are tightened.

If the protection circuitry is active, the unit may cycle on and off until operating parameters return to normal. Under more serious conditions, the unit may shut off completely. Normal operation should return upon cooling, but you may be required to turn the power off and then on again to reset the unit.

The following conditions require service by a qualified technician:

1.The power cord has become damaged

2.The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance

3.The unit has been exposed to water

4.Some part of the chassis or circuitry is physically damaged

Designed to deliver exceptional sound quality and precise audio reproduction, these subwoofers are popular among audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

The Velodyne DPS-10 and DPS-12 subwoofers stand out due to their powerful digital power amplifiers. The DPS-10 features a robust 400-watt RMS amplifier, while the DPS-12 boasts an even more powerful 600-watt RMS amplifier. This ample power allows both models to produce deep, rich bass with astonishing clarity, making them ideal for a range of audio applications, from music playback to home theater systems.

The digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities enhance the overall audio experience by optimizing the low-frequency performance, adapting to different room acoustics, and minimizing the potential for unwanted resonances.

The physical design of the DPS-10 and DPS-12 is equally impressive. They feature a sleek, modern aesthetic that fits seamlessly into any home décor. The cabinets are constructed from high-quality materials to reduce vibration and resonance, ensuring that the sound quality remains pristine.
