edited October 2020 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
I got 2 of these incredible Velodyne DD10+ servo controlled subs a while back, but I've come to the realization that I'm likely to never use the second.

More info, https://www.velodyneacoustics.com/digital-drive-plus-series/

Comes complete with a calibrated mic, mic stand, various cables, white gloves, remote, owner's manual, auto-EQ sweep test tone disc and a set up program disc, which allows for very sofisticated tweaking via your computer. I took it out when I got to make sure it works and again today to take pics. The only issue is it slipped when I was taking it out today and cracked a bit of the finish on the bottom right side. Other than that it is new. In light of that I'm dropping the price even lower than what I was going to offer it for. This is a tight, musical sub that IMO cannot be beat.

My sale price is $1500.00 plus shipping for a $3700.00 sub.

Double boxed up the weight is in the 85lbs. range, so FedEx shipping will be in the $100.00+ range to the 48.

    Love the XLR ins, outs, and High-Pass out. Proper connectivity right there.

    Sorry about the drop, hope that you didn't also smash your finger or break your back lifting that bad boy.

    Only my pride.

    Folks keep in mind that the pics were taken in my shop under extremely bright light making the cracked finish look worse than under normal light.

    Yes, a lot. It only dropped an inch, but right on the edge.

    Blame it on the white gloves! They sound to be defective to me. Velodyne should be on the hook for the repairs.

    Sounds like a case for Jackie Chiles!!

    This an incredible deal here. How do I know that? I have 2 of them myself.
    Some above said end game sub, very true. They are remarkably fast, super musical, very deep for theater use and small enough to fit in most rooms with ease.
    I differ from F1 as I use mine as a pair.

    Does this come with feet? Also, in the first pic, what is the white streak running diagonally across the back right...just a reflection of some sort?

    Yes, it comes with feet, which are like on most subs, stubby little things. They screw in/out, so easily replaced. The white streak at the rear is a reflection and the one at the front is too.

    I'd have to look that up in the owner's manual, but there's no point as no one uses S-video these days. Velodyne's TOTL Digital Drive subs have been around for a long time.

    Must be something related to the calibration/room correction features, like the ability to give you a visual plot of the frequency response or something.

    Thanks for the follow-up. VERY tempting at your price, but the WAF is already an issue with the one I have. She just sees it as a black box with no appeal. Maybe with the grill off and cone exposed, she would appreciate it more.

    You could point out this one is ebony veneer under that high gloss finish :)

    Pic without the grill. The light behind the grill is not bright. It comes on for 2 seconds when it starts then turns off or you can turn it on full time.

    Anyone want to speak to differences between bottom-firing vs front-firing subs?

    Pros and cons to both, similar to a port location.
    I think bottom firing can be a little for flexible on placement, but I think the main tradeoff is going to be a loss of texture and detail. That's a generalization of course, but it's my impression.

    You'll also notice that as you get into higher end subs they are normally front firing, but subs that add on to soundbars and part of home theater packages are more often down firing. Another generalization, so take it for what it's worth.
