You're making money on the DD-1 too! My girl just ordered one for me yesterday for Christmas! So stoked to get it bro!
Yeah buddy from the moment i opened it it was earning it's keep in my tool box

You gonna be at the shop Saturday evening? My son has a wrestling tournament Saturday in Woodland that should get out sometime between 3-5 depending on the turnout. I remember where you live and can swing by there if that works best for you, just let me know. PM me your number and I'll hit you up when we're leaving Woodland and we'll figure it out.sorry bro i stop packing orders/printing labels at 3 and i am at fedex by around 4:15 so i dont miss the last truck out...i should have more by wednesday or thursday at the latest so you can come by on the weekend and grab it if you like. I will even show you how to use it on the test bench so you will be an expert on it before you leave. Not that it is that hard, but a quick demo of what to do never hurts
i dont see a problem with that but like i said in the post above, they are coming on Saturday - but i dont know EXACTLY what time. You might wanna stay in touch - make sure i have them before you stop by. You still got my cell?
Loving my DD-1, Like a fat kid loves cake man!! I've turned out 63 systems with it and made a killing, Cheers SMD'Amore Need that CC-1 like yesterday mt Helix needs a friend and the DD-1 is lonley, lol
Sorry i thought i made a new reply
i love hearing how you guys love the DD-1.......but i really love hearing about how some of you are MAKING MONEY from the DD-1!!! Its not just a toy, its a tool!
Yeah man I fist saw this when you made your first video about it and saw $$$ on my screen, lol. I have all the tools to do these test with out it but i love whipping this out and using it i's more fun and I know it's on the money i already threw it threw a whirlwind to my O-scope and DMM. Knowing that when i see that LED i know it's the same thing i see in my wave, IDC who you are your not faster than this at "seeing" the distortion as this can and that gets me in an out of a car with the swiftness. I catch 10 per tune per amp and 5 for the radio, if anyone want's a idea on how to make quick cash with it, flat out the fastest turn around on a tool i have bought in years!

I was just asked a question about the DD-1 and i was not sure how to answer it, here it is..
Q: My only issues concerning this is that clipping can occur before the distortion listed from the device, or so people say. Also, as voltage drops (which will happen when you have a load on the amplifier, not when it's just "on"), wouldn't clipping/distortion increase as the voltage dropped?
I was not sure as to the algorithm used on the DD-1 will it pick up both in any order of detection, i asume it will. As for the voltage drop I told him it should not change the input signal just the output will fall but it shouldn't make for distortion seeing that the input is clean.
could ya help me out on that, Ty for your time.

Don't remember ever seeing anything about the Pink noise track and it's use with the DD-1, or i just missed it and didn't see it..

Wow nice deal had i waited a few more days i would have gotten this deal, oh well still a great buy at msrp too. Really wanna know a date to pre order the CC-1 mang!!
actually nobody has paid MSRP yet....
I ment that by even paying msrp is still a deal imo, lol i like the, yet... part
By the way Ty kind Sir, I was recording making a custom grill for my car and talking about how a shitty rainy day out it was when the FedEx guy pulled up with my DD-1 and the day was a bit brighter, FTW
good shit bro!!! glad to hear!!!!! enjoy
Yeah buddy, waiting on the CC to take up the other slot in the hard shell case i foamed up for these to stay safe and it looks badass when you pop open a hard shell foamed with the DD and the CC in it to do some tuning, serious look right there man. I have a few other pieces that do the same kinda stuff but these are worth the coin to have a quick accurate read in a killer looking tool, very straight to the point equipment, loving these new audio tools man.
Hey keep pushing the bar man!!

Steve shipped out super fast. Looks like I will be getting mine this friday
That's whats up! Steve's on the ball, lol gotta love when someone takes pride in what they do. I got home late and saw this so I'm be seeing mine on Monday, still with the holiday I'm happy be here in no time.
-
Just finished ordering mine, now I need to find something to do so I don't sit by the door
Hey Steve you should throw in one of them fancy white SMD shirts XL order# 100000843
I took a lot of BS from the wife for buying more tools besides i needs me a new tshirt to wear when I be tuning amps. If you get bored you can throw a john handcock on it, Cheers man and happy thanksgiving to you and your family! -
steve whats the total units sold so far
approx. 300
we were planning on selling 200 tops by this time (if it was a successful launch)..... but 200 have been gone since before Aug 1st.
stay patient guys, your money is safe and i only bought one hooker, and 1 line of coke so far with my proceeds...i have been using restraint.
lmao - j/k
.... that is good restraint, lol j/k man great work you guys are doing, the wait isn't that bad we all waited till now for this to come to life so a few weeks and maybe a youtube vid of the hooker and coke would help, lol j/k

Yes and you should do it that way. You should use the medium you use most in your system to tune your system.
IDK about this clam, reason being is that ipods and other mp3/mp4 based devices are known to compress and basicly kill sound, so i wonder if the ipod or other is the best way to set the system. As well as every system is based around a head unit that well plays a cd so there should be no issue using the cd, It very well may be fine to use it but i don't have one a DD-1 to run tests on it with the two ways, cause if it is off by a little that can be enough to make an issue. Only trials will tell i guess, ya know.

I was just wondering what the battery life is like on the new units?
X2
Its a good question but no one wants to touch it?
On the battery life: I've designed special circuitry that turns the unit "off" when it's off, meaning its not "sleeping" its actually very much off. So if not being used the battery would last as long as if it wasn't plugged into anything. When being used it depends; if it is just "on" but no signals are being examined it should last around 15 hours continuous. When signals are being injected into it, the run time would be less because the DD-1 is doing more work. If used in a shop for 10-15 minutes at a time, several times a day, it should last for months.
We didn't design in a rechargeable system in order to keep costs down, and put the money into the design in more important places. If used in a very busy shop there is nothing stopping anyone from putting a rechargeable 9V in it, like this one My link Note however that rechargeable types have less capacity than a standard non-rechargeable alkaline battery, so it might have to be re-charged often.
That is a wise decision Tony, it iw more important for the tools blueprint to be top than the power source though it is important none the same, i would rather it work better and die that work half ass and last forever, IMO

i see a lot of people giving steve tons and tons of props for this unit. while i agree and give him props as well, i equally give tony d'amore props all the same. i'm sure he had a huge part in this product too
Thanks man, my boy Juan Rodriguez and I have some time invested in it for sure.
You, Steven, and everyone else on it knocked it out the park on this one guy, i need one yesterday is about the only thing left to say, respect!

well there is a few people involved in it creation but i'm sure it was a good part Steven's idea to have this tool, Tony is the tech end of the creation. A lot of people are to thank for this not just them but also the people who are helping this take off with pre orders and such ya know. Everyones a winner here with this tool I know i'm fucking stoked!!
-
i was just stating imo in no way am i a stalker or any retarded shit like that and no i didnt take time to read the whole 39 pages I just get on here for a few min at a time because i got stuff to do i was just saying that i look up to the guy because he had the first major system i saw and he know he shit i have learned alot watching his videos i just think it cool that he was one of the first on youtube to do that shit i also look up to exo because of his knowledge
I'm sorry man i didn't mean for it to go all crazy like that i was just poking fun a bit but it was uncalled for no harm ment man you good we all know you we just speaking from the heart and you just a stoked like the rest of us to have this coming out
-
i have a question you can hook up the red RCA into the top right to find out when the headunit clips
I'm sure you use a two female to one male RCA y connecter to make one lead from the two then plug into the SMD DD-1. watch the beta test video from Pulse on youtube

Hey steve is there a date your shooting for on this to lauch to the public or have you thought of pre orders because it will clear out and it will be like or things have a waiting list jw man great job and in my eyes your where and icon before you made this now your a god lol. I just hope i have a chance in my life to shake your hand because of you and others like techforce i want bigger and better things and im just happy there are ppl in the audio game to look up to thanks man
Seriously?
I guess, I mean it is good to have a image to look forward to for inspiration.. but that seems a bit stalking, lol sorry man it does. I referred to Steven as an Icon before due to his involvement in making this a reality and in all right he is now an audio Icon for that hands down, but still a normal everyday guy who loves audio just as much as each of us here talking about audio. Hope that guy doesn't start getting to that "Stan" stage or Steven better run for it, lol
No dude, I am almost positive he was saying "seriously?" because you have not been paying attention to know that these things ARE available to the public and already started with the presale...if that clears it up for you.
Idk i guess it seems it can be taken moe than one way

Steve...have you gone through your system with one of these yet?
Yes, i have....with our original prototype (that ate batteries for lunch every 3 minutes.....LITERALLY). I didnt get all of it done because of that. I will re-do it with one of the newer units soon. The new units have a much more efficient power supply in them and it shouldnt be a problem anymore.
Have you thought about a lithium-ion rechargeable power supply like say my Makita drills for example, i don't really know the specs on the unit you may have already done so??
-
thanks D!!
As long as you buy brother cause us Irish can drink a whole lot
Pluss you got some extra cash flow now But really you should see this through there is no reason this shouldn't be on the shelf at retail store, just sayin,I just got off facebook and there is a buzz about some oversea fellows that want one so international sales is something to think about if ya haven't already, I'm sure many have said it alreadly man this as well as I this is HUGE man hang on cause it is about to blow, Cheers

so let me get this straight. Less power, more db and cleaner sound? Thats an incredible finding.
love the vids bro thank you so much for making them.
As I just posted to Pulse, Steven you have just become an Icon in audio with this equipment. This is by far the most impressive piece to be created in the past 20yrs or more, you did more than you know with this my friend you have changed the face of audio and installing by giving people a professional tool at a novice price. Thank you for all the years of dedication to audio it brought you to a place where you helped craft not just mobile audio but audio installation for all. Stay grounded with this all cause it is easy to get caught up in movement this will no doubt be. Ya did good man, respect.

a little more info for you guys...
We all know that when you clip your system it adds "dirty power" so I wanted to see what kind of dirty power Gary had before setup with the SMD dd1. The results are surprising.
BEFORE TUNING WITH SMD dd1
ACv- 62.09
amp- 39.14
2430.2026 watts SPL score 150.8dB
AFTER TUNING WITH SMD dd1
ACv- 56.14
amp- 34.07
1912.6898 watts SPL score 150.9dB (after playing music for over 45 minutes straight with the truck off!!!)
edit: in other words... 517.5128 watts where "dirty" or distorted power and it didn't help the score at all. and FYI I have seen a few people (one re re on youtube said this too) say that "i've tuned by ear this tool is useless you can hear distortion"... I have been doing car audio for 16+ years. I have built countless SPL and SQ setups not to mention everyday bangers... I can tell you this... This is the fastest and easiest way to set up tuning, and I thought I got the cars pretty close by ear (judges comments on my competitors setups confirmed that) but this takes the cake so to speak. Gary's truck sounded fantastic before, and anyone who has heard it would agree... like i said in the vid though.. it sounds BETTER now.
if you don't add this to your toolbox as an installer of audio both home and auto... then you are insane. bottom line.
This is by far the most important piece of equipment in auido installing in the past 20yrs or more to be created, steven just went from a die-heart audiophile like us all to an icon in audio, this product will change installs from here on. This is a great day for audio.
