Velodyne DS-10 - Manual (Page 27)

Contour Frequency No No Frequency that can be set in increments of 1 Hz between
15 Hz and 200 Hz to boost or cut the signal (contour) of
your subwoofer‘s frequency response at that frequency.
The contour filter acts as an “extra” user-set EQ that can
be used to manipulate the subwoofer frequency response
when a particular preset is invoked. The subwoofer’s Setup
preset parameters don’t include those for the contour
filter as each contour filter is a subset of each of the
other presets.
Contour Level No No A preset’s contour filter’s amount of boost or cut added at
the contour frequency. + 6 dB is the maximum boost.
-13 dB is the maximum cut. The contour level is like
changing the volume at only one bass frequency.
Theater / Music Indicator No No Sets the accelerometer servo gain of the DS-10 system
between 1 and 8. The 1 setting is for the least amount of servo
gain or allowing some distortion; this setting might be more
appreciated for media with less accuracy required, such as
movies or games. The 8 setting is for the most amount of
servo gain or least amount of distortion; this setting would be
used more for critical listening of music. We prefer using 8 for
the theater preset, but feel free to customize it if you like.
The somewhat higher distortion of the 1 setting during
playback makes explosions and other theatrical and gaming
content have an overall louder and more impressive bass
response. The lowest distortion setting of 8 lowers the overall
perceived level because of the elimination of distortion
products, producing a very tight and “fast” sounding bass –
well suited for listening to music. Numbers in between yield a
result either more towards the one end or the other. You can
determine the best setting by listening.
The subwoofer’s setup preset parameters don’t include this
setting as it is like the contour: different for each preset.
The factory setting for the presets are:
• N/A for the setup preset
• 8 (least distortion) for Theater (Preset 1)
• 6 (low distortion) for Rock (Preset 2)
• 8 (least distortion) for jazz (Preset 3)
• 8 (least distortion) for Custom (Preset 4)
• 3 (moderate distortion) for Games (Preset 5)
• 8 (least distortion) for Defeat (Preset 6)
Default Preset No No This is the preset used when your subwoofer is powered on
from the off state. The factory setting is preset 3. This preset
can be set to any one of the presets using the TV screen
interface. When the standby mode is used from the remote
(red button), the preset stays the same as the last setting and
does not revert to the default setting.
