Both models incorporate Velodyne's patented DSP technology, which provides superior control over bass response and minimizes unwanted resonances.

For those seeking an even more powerful experience, the SC-15 delivers exceptional low-end extension with its larger driver. The combination of craftsmanship and technology makes it perfect for critical listening and immersive home theater experiences.

The SC-IW and SC-IF models focus on in-wall and in-floor installations, allowing for seamless integration with home decor while still delivering outstanding audio performance.
