RESTORE DEFAULTS – This feature allows you to restore default settings for your DPS subwoofer. By pressing the presets in EXACTLY the following order on the front panel display, the unit’s power light will blink three times indicating that you have restored defaults.

1.Movies

2.R&B – Rock

3.Jazz – Classical

4.Games

5.Games

6.Jazz – Classical

7.R&B – Rock

8.Movies

When you press the presets in the above order, the power light will blink three times indicating that you have restored defaults. The default preset is Jazz-Classical, and the unit’s volume is reset to level 35 (out of 100).

Night Mode

Night mode limits the maximum output of the subwoofer for late night listening or to be more considerate of close neighbors. Press the NIGHT button to turn the night mode feature on or off. Engaging the night mode causes the LED lights to burn less brightly. Night mode does not universally diminish the volume, rather, on louder passages, the maximum output of the unit is limited. It may be that you will hear little or no difference in the output of the woofer when night mode is activated. However, when an explosion or other loud transient is played, you should notice less ouput.

VOLUME Control

This control allows you to balance the output from the subwoofer to the main speakers in your system. This control should be set to achieve similar volume level from between both the main speakers and subwoofer. When pressing volume up or down, the speed at which the power light blinks indicates subwoofer volume - the faster the blinking, the louder the unit plays. After the volume is changed (up or down), there will also be two sets of center LED blinks. Slower blinks represent tens and faster blinks represent ones. If the LED blinks three times, pauses, then blinks six times, this means that the volume is set at 36. The volume range is from 1 to 99.

DPS-12, DPS-10 specifications

Velodyne Acoustics has established itself as a leader in the field of high-performance subwoofers, and their DPS-10 and DPS-12 models exemplify this commitment to excellence. 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.

One of the standout features of the DPS series is the incorporation of the Dynamic Drive System. This innovative technology ensures that the subwoofers can handle high output levels without distortion, providing a clean and accurate bass response. This system includes advanced algorithms that monitor the driver's performance in real time, adjusting the output to prevent over-excursion and maintain sound integrity.

Both models are equipped with a sophisticated Bass Equalization feature. This allows users to tailor the bass response according to their listening environment or personal preferences. 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. The models also sport rear-firing ports that enhance bass response and provide added flexibility in placement within a room.

In addition to their impressive technical specifications, Velodyne's DPS-10 and DPS-12 subwoofers come equipped with user-friendly controls and connectivity options. The intuitive interface allows for easy adjustment of settings, while multiple input options make integration into existing audio systems straightforward.

In conclusion, the Velodyne Acoustics DPS-10 and DPS-12 subwoofers embody the perfect blend of power, precision, and flexibility. Their advanced technologies and design features make them an excellent choice for anyone seeking to enhance their audio experience, whether for music, movies, or gaming. With these subwoofers, Velodyne continues to set high standards for audio performance.
