I'm posting this just to make sure everyone is aware of it. I purchased Velodyne DS-10 subwoofer about a year ago and I'm yet to have it setup correctly. Velodyne clearly claims in the manual and literature that the subwoofer includes 3 optimization options.
The following is straight from Velodyne product page:
In reality, there is no way to setup "Auto EQ" because there is no CD. I spent hours on the phone with their customer support with no resolution, The guy finally tried to walk me through a simple "Self EQ" which I already knew about and which doesn't really do any thing other than a basic calibration with no consideration for integrating the sub with the rest of the system. The manual mentions a CD for this process, but Velodyne turned around and claimed that "no, this was never the case" and that it does not come with a CD. Any one who knows anything about audio would realize immediately that there is no way to run the Auto EQ without test tones playing through the system. I tried using my own test tones, sweeps, white noise, pink noise and several other methods using a tone generator but every time the Auto EQ fails and reverts back to Manual. Manual setup maybe more complete and even better, but is too complex for me and I'm not sure I can do it correctly.
In my Opinion, Velodyne is deceiving consumers and is doing themselves a huge disservice.
