Re: Any experience with the Velodyne SMS-1


I think it would be fair to say that the SMS-1 is just now the subwoofer equalizer that it should have been at release.

Bottom line...previously I would find myself wanting to redo the equalization on the SMS-1 every few days as something always seemed to be lacking. I would best describe it as missing resolution at one frequency range or another. Same thing with the Behringer DCX2496. Now with the new software I was able to set it once (O.K., make that twice, but that's because I was in the mood to play with it)and forget it. It sounds right.

There are cheaper solutions, but I'm not sure that they work as well as people think. Perhaps a SMS-1 to Behringer shootout is in order.

Although I'm somewhat interested in upgrading my subwoofer, the additional lows I'm getting out of my current subwoofer processed by the SMS-1 has me questioning whether or not to upgrade.
