Dual Tandem Voice Coil - Linear Motion

Non-linear cone movement causes a high level of mechanical distortion and sloppy, muddy bass performance. Velodyne conquers this common cause of distortion with its unique Dual Tandem Voice Coil design. This system creates a linear excursion of 1¼” peak -to-peak with a 2” maximum. A two section magnetic structure in a push-pull configuration with a two segment voice coil wound out of phase generates less than half the distortion of conventional motor designs, and is capable of four times the heat dissipation, contributing to Velodyne’s distinctive tight, accurate, low distortion sound.

HGS-15X, HGS-10X, HGS-12X specifications

Velodyne Acoustics is renowned for its commitment to delivering high-performance subwoofers, and the HGS series—comprising the HGS-12X, HGS-10X, and HGS-15X—showcases this dedication. Each model in the HGS series incorporates cutting-edge technology designed to elevate the listening experience, making them ideal for both home theater setups and critical music applications.

The HGS-12X is equipped with a 12-inch driver that delivers powerful bass response while maintaining precision. It features a built-in 1,000-watt amplifier, ensuring enough headroom for dynamic peaks without distortion. The patented "Digital Signal Processing" (DSP) technology optimizes the subwoofer's performance by analyzing the incoming audio and adjusting the output in real-time. This results in accurate and deep bass that enhances the fidelity of any audio source.

The HGS-10X, with its 10-inch driver, is the most compact model in the series but doesn’t compromise on performance. It shares the same high-quality 1,000-watt amplifier and DSP technology as its larger counterparts, ensuring that it can produce rich bass tones despite its smaller size. This makes the HGS-10X an excellent choice for users with limited space who still desire powerful low-frequency output.

The HGS-15X, featuring a robust 15-inch driver, is designed for those who crave the deepest bass possible. Like the other models, it benefits from a powerful 1,000-watt amplifier, but what sets it apart is its ability to reproduce low-frequency sounds with remarkable clarity, making it a favorite for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike. Its larger driver allows it to move more air, resulting in a bolder and deeper sound profile.

All models in the HGS series incorporate Velodyne's proprietary "Room Gain Compensation" technology. This feature adapts the subwoofer's output to account for the unique acoustics of the listening room, ensuring optimal performance regardless of the environment. Users also have the option to fine-tune their bass experience with adjustable volume, phase, and crossover controls.

In addition to their impressive performance characteristics, the HGS subwoofers are built with aesthetic appeal in mind. They sport a sleek design that fits seamlessly into modern home décor while being robust enough to handle heavy use.

In summary, the Velodyne Acoustics HGS-12X, HGS-10X, and HGS-15X subwoofers exemplify high fidelity and engineering excellence. With their advanced technologies, powerful amplification, and stylish designs, they cater to a range of preferences and requirements, making them a top choice for enthusiasts dedicated to outstanding audio performance.
