Velodyne DEQ-12R 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer – Digitally Controlled DSP

There's nothing small about the DEQ-12R 12-inch powered subwoofer when it comes to power or performance. The DEQ-12R starts with Velodyne's high quality Class D digital amplifier cranking out 450 watts dynamic power and 225 watts RMS. Look inside and you'll find a 3.5 lb. magnet structure, a 2-inch 2-layer copper voice coil and a stiff reinforced driver cone. Add it all

The remote's "EQ" button automatically adjusts your subwoofer

up and you have a subwoofer speaker that produces deep, loud bass with low distortion. All of this comes wrapped up in a stylish black pica matte vinyl wrap. So whether you're listening to music or movies you won't find anything else that combines small size, accuracy, and efficiency at such a low price.

Room Bass Maximization

DEQ-R subwoofers are easily matched to any room. Place the included microphone in your favorite seating position, push the remote's "EQ" button and a five-band equalizer automatically adjusts your subwoofer speaker for great sound.

Velodyne's DSP Distortion Limiting System

Digitally controlled, the embedded Digital Signal Processing chips control all audio functions with digital precision that is unsurpassed in this price range, tuning the subwoofer more accurately than analog systems and producing louder, lower and more accurate bass. The digital precision of Velodyne's Distortion Limiting System assures maximum driver excursion and amplifier output, reproducing music and home theater with a fraction of the audible distortion found in competitive products, without sacrificing output or dynamics.

The DEQ-R Series cabinets are engineered using a front-firing, slotted bass-reflex design

The remote control lets you control all of the subwoofer's functions from the comfort of your favorite chair with visible feedback on the front panel.

This review is from: Velodyne DEQ-12R 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Black) (Electronics)

Purchased this subwoofer to replace my old MK MX-80 sub that I had had for 18 years. Did a lot of subwoofer researched and came away liking the Velodyne DEQ-12R the best. The things that drove my decision were its features & specs, price, the good reviews it had received and the fact Velodyne has been manufacturing subwoofers for a long time. However, things did not go well. The first sub I received had an out of the box failure. The remote control didn't work. Called Amazon customer service and they got me a replacement in 3 days, but this one also had an out of the box failure. At first I thought there was a power supply failure because the display didn't light up when it was turned on. I later discovered it did have power just no display. Also learned that Velodyne subs are assembled in China, hmmm I don't see any problems there. Called Velodyne to bitch about their poor quality control. No way should a customer have to experience one let along two out of the box failures. Velodyne's tech support told me I could open up the sub without voiding the warranty and look for any lose cable connections. Found the display cable unplugged. Reconnected the cable and display was up and running. Why should I have to fix their mistakes. How that its working, the sub sounds great and it is easy to set up and use. I like the sub I am just disappointed by Velodyne build quality. Velodyne bring your the assembly back to the states. I just hope this sub will hold up as well as my old Miller & Kreisel did. Only time will tell. As a side note, my experience with the Amazon customer service department was first rate.

Firstly HDTV Depot Online was great. Corrected an order mistake I made and was delivered quickly. Brian was most helpful and a credit to customer service. The Velodyne is for a large room and it was good I did not order a 15 in. To sum it up, this woofer will fill all your movie and game needs. Period. It is not top audiophile status but then it is not 2-3k either. Forget the nit-picking analysis of the other reviews........ it is a damn good subwoofer and works well. Delivers good tight bass!
