Product Description

Since the introduction of the first High Gain Servo system in 1983, Velodyne’s servo-controlled subwoofers have defined — and redefined — the reference in low-frequency performance. Twenty years after Velodyne’s introduction of the world’s first low-distortion, high definition subwoofer, Velodyne now introduces a new revolution in subwoofer design — the first microprocessor-controlled all-digital subwoofer.
The Digital Drive(TM) Series consists of four totally new digital subwoofers – the DD-10 (10 driver, 8 piston diameter), the DD-12 (12 driver, 9.7 piston diameter), the DD-15 (15 driver, 12.7 piston diameter), and the DD-18 (massive 18 driver, 15.2 piston diameter). Built to be as small as physically possible, they still deliver musical accuracy and visceral, ultra-low bass that you actually feel. Digital Drive(TM) subwoofers raise the standards by which subwoofers are measured to a new high.

Concepts and Goals
The first major challenge to accurate subwoofer performance is over-coming shockingly high levels of distortion that make most subwoofers muddy, boomy, and lacking in definition and clarity, especially at higher playback levels. Velodyne’s patented accelerometer-based High Gain Servo (HGS) technology, used initially in the ULD Series and later in the HGS Series subwoofers, lowers distortion at all frequencies and playback levels to less than 1%. This technology established Velodyne subwoofers as the benchmark by which all others have been measured over the past 20 years.
