Just found this thread

Just to say I'm running 2x SPL ultra 1000's. for such compact units they really are punchy, controlled and forceful when called upon. I love em.

Hello group, and this is my FIRST writing in this forum...

I have read through some of the posts. Some seem to call their Velodyne CT-100 etc. older..

Well, I would just like to say, I STILL to this day enjoy my F1500r.. yeah, its only 250 watts, BUT, it plays VERY low which is an important feature for me.

Putting an analogue signal generator into it, was able to reach 15Hz. at a good level before she dropped off

This one is dated 1995 !

Just sayin' .... DO enjoy your newer models from the company that really started it all with the LOWEST distortion numbers in a subwoofer!

Hi, I'm looking for a subwoofer. Is there a Velodyne subwoofer or another brand subwoofer that can match the price and quality of the SVS PB-1000?

RomanBlade86 · 05-08-2013, 04:03 AM

I've never owned a subwoofer and currently only using a pair of B&W 685s.

The BIC PL-200 seems like a great deal at this point, but how does it compare with the Velodyne EQ-Max 15 Inch Subwoofer?

The BIC PL-200 can be had probably for $300 if you make an offer to AcousticSoundDesign on eBay and the Velodyne EQ-Max 15 inch subwoofer is currently $749.77 on their website.

I know the Velodyne is much more expensive and has better specs, but just how noticeable will all of that be? 250 Watts RMS Continuous with the BIC PL-200 vs 750 watts RMS Power with the Velodyne:

BIG FAN OF VELODYNE SUBS!!!

... and as far as as 'dated' goes, pretty much all my equipment is 'dated'

as long as its not abused and well taken care of, it'll yake care of you right back

formula72 · 04-29-2014, 02:42 AM

Oh.....This is bit disappointing....but the EQ-Max series Subwoofers have been discontinued. As much as I'm proud of my CT-100, the day will come that I will upgrade and retire this little guy.

I hope, and I mean hope, that Velodyne will make a similar design as the CT series, with all the bells and whistles as the EQ MAX line.

One design I really appreciated from the older CT line, that I hope gets ported over, is the front firing port at the bottom of the box, below the sub......

rlmbluray · 07-10-2014, 11:27 PM

i have two of these subs since about 2006. Recently I re calibrated them, one first, no issue, but when trying to do the second one, there was no test tones from the setup menu. No volume from the sub or from the front speakers, just a flat line. Interesting the self EQ worked generating tones while it did it job, but i could not get a test tone from the 12345 test graphs.

There is no signal coming from the RCA EQ output jacks for the setup menu.

Any ideas????

Nikka488 · 08-18-2014, 09:03 PM

I just recently upgraded my sub to a Velodyne HGS-18 and I'm loving it. My neighbors might not appreciate it though...Unfortunately I don't have any fellow audiophiles in the office so my excitement falls on deaf ears & glazed over eyes. Not that it matters bc it makes me happy.

Congrats on the HGS!

That sounds like something I recently said. My sentiments exactly.

Thought I'd share in case someone is in the market: Velodyne has some decent sales going on, especially their refurbs. I picked up an SC 10 (10 inch passive sub) for $110 w/ a Fathers Day coupon. They are throwing in headphones right now.

Haven't done too much extensive listening on the SC 10 yet. I am using it on my 2nd system, which is a 12 x 13 ft office/hookah room. Once I found the best spot for the sub (of my limited options due to the room's size) and calibrated it, I did do some listening. The sub easily pressurizes the room, even w the double doors open. The sub is well made (this small sucker weighs in at almost 40lbs

). Cabinet seems very well braced. I am powering this w a Bash plate amp that once powered my Outlaw sub.

Velodyne subwoofers will be back. German based Audio Reference has bought the brand, patents, designs and tooling and also brought back the Velodyne design team. It was announced in Stereonet (Australia) a few days ago. Great news. I was abou to ditch my 3 Velodyne subs.

Bill C · 07-16-2020, 10:23 AM
