The SPL-X series features models available in 10-, 12-, 15-, and 18-inch sizes and builds on the DSP technology in Velodyne's MiniVee X and SC1500 models. These subwoofers feature a sleek curved cabinet design inspired by the premium Digital Drive Plus series.
The SPL-X subwoofers, which feature a 38mm thick cabinet construction, internal bracing, and potent magnet systems, are said to be optimised to deliver "superior acoustic performance."
Meanwhile, the amplifier modules range from 1,000 watts RMS (SPL-X 10) to 1,800 watts RMS (SPL-X 18), reportedly ensuring deep, dynamic bass.
The new carbon fibre drivers boast four-layer voice coils, double-centering spiders, and rear-ventilated motor units, which Velodyne claims results in precision and impact at all volume levels.
The SPL-X models include balanced and unbalanced inputs/outputs alongside solid speaker terminals.
The Velodyne Acoustics AutoEQ App provides precise tuning and automatic calibration via the included microphone, optimising the subwoofer's performance for any room setup.
While at ISE, Velodyne Acoustics also introduced its SC1500 DSP-controlled subwoofer amplifier—a 1,500-watt powerhouse with 2-ohm stability, app control, and auto-calibration for passive subwoofers. This was joined by the SC-IW600X and SC-IWDVR in-wall subwoofers, described as sleek, discreet, high-performance models designed for seamless integration.
Additionally, the company announced its MiniVee X Limited Editions, available in high-gloss white and an exclusive transparent acrylic version showcasing internal engineering. Finally, Wi-Connect System II is the latest wireless audio system for flexible subwoofer and speaker placement without cables.
