About the Velodyne Acoustics Deep Blue 12
Velodyne Acoustics Deep Blue 12: compact sealed subwoofer
The Deep Blue series brings Velodyne Acoustics bass to a living room-friendly format. The Deep Blue 12 uses a 12-inch front-firing driver in a closed MDF cabinet with a 52 mm front baffle, powered by a 350 W RMS Class AB amplifier (850 W dynamic). Velodyne rates it at 26-140 Hz (±3 dB).
System matching
Use the LFE input with an AV receiver, the stereo RCA inputs with a preamp, or the high-level inputs with an integrated amplifier that has no subwoofer output. The 50 to 180 Hz low-pass crossover and phase control help it blend with bookshelf or floorstanding speakers.
How it fits the range
Deep Blue comes in 8, 10, 12 and 15-inch sizes, from 300 W RMS on the Deep Blue 8 to 450 W RMS on the Deep Blue 15, so you can choose by room size and placement.
