"Factor in a street price of around $650-700"


There was a $699 price being thrown around, which I thought was MSRP so we could get $550-$600 street. I hope Audioholics got that wrong.

What is this "alas" crap to start the article? Sounds like the guy is mad that the Velo digital technology is now available to guys who don't have two grand or more to spend on a sub.

...still no official price...

I think it may simply be a case of poor English, where the author thought that "alas" meant something different. This happens a lot when people determine what a word means based on the context of how they've heard other people use it.


After all, look at what Alanis Morissette did with the word "ironic".

SVS has your value priced EQ.

Why would it need 5 mics, you just have to move the mic and do five sweeps. Seems like a waste to pay for five mics just to save a few minutes.

Having a laptop, wouldn't the BFD with it's 1/6 octave eq be better?

What he said...that is the set pricing and it hasn't changed in a while. Sorry if there is any continued confusion.


BTW - great to finally meet you Kjohn!


Bruce

 

[kjohn]

And Thank you after meeting you and seeing what you are trying to do I'll be your spokes person because you are truly a nice guy. Velodyne has sold me or was it Bruce.

 

[kjohn]

I'm glad you guys can buy laptops and do complicated tedious room measurements (by the way I work for a living) I'll just buy the the SMS-1 and enjoy the inprovement. MAN!!!!!!!!! its hard to make a living these days. Bruce like I said you at least sold one to old KJ.

Time/phase/decay/delay?

 

[noah katz]

I forget where I saw it recently, but is the resolution of the SMS-1 really only 1/6 octave?


I've always read that you need at least 1/12 for nailing room modes.

 

[Jake Sm]

wait 'till you play with it, it nails 'em quite well.

Mic arrays make sense if you're trying to do something like preserve the distance and position of mics (like simulating a head), but that wouldn't be the case for dealing with room modes.


I'm not trying to be argumentative - I'm just stumped as to why five microphones makes sense for this application.

how does this work with multiple subs? three. would one sms-1 do the trick?
