"If you know subwoofers, you know about Velodyne."

-Corey Greenberg

Home Theater Technology/February 1995 Face Off: Comparison of five subwoofers

"...the HGS-10 can be used in settings where a larger, more conventional subwoofer would be unacceptable. In addition, its performance is good enough that it's worth considering even if space is not an issue. Just be prepared to watch your friends' jaws drop when you tell them the bass they're hearing is coming from that little box."

-Robert Deutsch

Stereophile Guide to Home Theater/September 1998

"In general, the Velodyne (HGS-12) could play slightly louder, and often cleaner, than the Sunfire."

"The Velodyne HGS-12 was an excellent performer whose output and bass extension were competitive with those of much larger subwoofers. With its compact size, sturdiness, good looks, and low distortion, it warrants serious consideration."

-D.B. Keele, Jr. Audio/ June 1998

HGS 12, HGS 10 specifications

Velodyne Acoustics is a company renowned for its innovation in the audio technology field, particularly in subwoofer design. Two of its standout products are the HGS-10 and HGS-12 subwoofers. These models embody Velodyne’s commitment to delivering powerful, high-fidelity sound by combining advanced technologies with user-friendly features.

The HGS-10 and HGS-12 subwoofers are designed to provide deep bass extension and superior control, making them ideal for both home theater and music listening environments. One of their main features is their use of Velodyne’s patented Digital Drive Technology. This technology utilizes advanced digital signal processing to monitor and control the movement of the subwoofer driver in real-time, ensuring that the sound quality remains consistent and distortion-free, even at high volume levels.

Both models house large, powerful drivers that are engineered for maximum efficiency. The HGS-10 includes a 10-inch driver, while the HGS-12 features a larger 12-inch driver, allowing for deeper bass response. The cabinet design of these subwoofers is also notable; they are constructed with a sturdy, well-braced enclosure that minimizes unwanted vibrations, enhancing sound clarity.

The subwoofers are equipped with a variety of connectivity options, including line-level inputs and outputs, enabling easy integration into existing audio systems. They also feature adjustable crossover controls, allowing users to tailor the frequency response to match their listening environment. This flexibility makes it possible to achieve optimal performance regardless of the room’s acoustics.

Another significant characteristic of the HGS series is the inclusion of the room control feature. This allows users to optimize bass response based on their specific room characteristics, enhancing overall audio performance. Additionally, both models come with a remote control, enabling users to make adjustments from the comfort of their seating area.

In summary, Velodyne Acoustics HGS-10 and HGS-12 subwoofers stand out for their combination of advanced technologies, powerful drivers, and user-centric features. With their ability to deliver exceptional bass performance while minimizing distortion, they cater to audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike, solidifying Velodyne’s presence in the high-performance audio market. These subwoofers are more than just typical audio equipment; they are a testament to the pursuit of audio excellence.
