Bass is
all-important in a home cinema set-up. Without it action sequences sound tinny
and flat and your room doesn’t shake like it ought to. Getting a subwoofer
properly integrated into your home cinema sound system though can be tricky.
Velodyne, makers of award winning subwoofers, knows a thing or two about sorting
out bass and to prove it, it has introduced a system for use with any
subwoofer. The Subwoofer Management System (SMS-1) is a separate bass
processing system that uses Velodyne’s Digital Drive room correction software,
normally only found in Velodyne subs. The process for measuring and correcting
room anomalies simply means placing the microphone in your fave listening
position and hitting a few buttons. The system does the rest, displaying your
room’s subwoofer and the room’s sound anomalies on your telly. 
From there you
can adjust it as necessary, or let the SMS-1 do it for you. It has four pre-set
bass modes for action adventure movies, general movies, pop/rock and
jazz/classical, plus a fifth programmable one. The SMS-1 costs around £300.
