Velodyne Expands Subwoofer Lineup with Impact X Range
Velodyne, the famous name in subwoofers enjoying a new lease of life and much success since its new ownership, has announced its all-new Impact X Subwoofer series.
Developed by an international team of experts in the U.S. and Germany, the new subwoofers feature the company's newly developed electronics, drivers and cabinet design. Impact X has features not seen on any Velodyne sub at this price point before, including a front display screen, remote control and inbuilt DSP listening modes.
The performance is said to be sublime with up to 600 Watts peak amplifier power (12-inch model) and a down-firing bass reflex port. Velodyne's advanced anti-clipping circuitry also ensures distortion is kept to a bare minimum for clean bass.
Sure to be welcomed by enthusiasts is the full function remote control, front screen (with adjustable light level), and integrated DSP presets, making this range incredibly capable at the price. The Class D amplifier has been thoughtfully designed and features loop though for those wanting to run multiple subwoofers in their room. The reinforced paper membrane woofers utilise a dual ferrite magnet motor with four-layer 52mm voice-coil.
The Velodyne Impact X Series is available in two sizes (10-inches and 12-inches) and two colours (black and white). The X 12 will sell for £895, whereas the Impact X 10 costs £795.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
