SVS AS-EQ1

SVS - The Sound Authority will be releasing the SVS AS-EQ1 Audyssey Audio Correction Device. Audyssey labs developed the AS-EQ1 using Audyssey's MULTEQ DSP technologies. The AS-EQ1 is not your ordinary Parametric Equalizer (PEQ). In addition to performing automatic frequency correction, it also performs time correction to account for the delay added when correcting the frequency. The AS-EQ1 is dual channel so you can equalize up to two subwoofers simultaneously. Even more impressive is the Graphical User Interface (connected to a PC or laptop) and the ability to correct the bass for up to 32 different seating positions.

The AS-EQ1 is not currently for sale, so if you are looking to buy a similar bass correction device today, you should consider the Velodyne SMS-1.
