About the Velodyne Acoustics Impact X 15
Velodyne Acoustics Impact X 15: ported subwoofer with DSP presets
The Impact X series combines an efficient front-firing driver with a bass reflex port in a compact MDF enclosure. The Impact X 15 uses a 15-inch driver and a flow-optimized rear slot bass reflex, driven by a 550 W RMS Class D amplifier (1000 W dynamic). Velodyne rates it at 23-180 Hz (±3 dB).
System matching
Use the LFE input with an AV receiver, or the stereo RCA or high-level inputs with a two-channel system. The 50 to 180 Hz low-pass crossover and 0/180 degree phase switch help it blend with your main speakers.
How it fits the range
Impact X comes in 10, 12 and 15-inch sizes. The 10 and 12 suit small and medium rooms; the 15, with 550 W RMS and nine DSP presets, is designed for demanding home theaters and large living rooms.
