Velodyne Acoustics Deep Blue 12 Powered 12" Subwoofer
The Velodyne Acoustics Deep Blue 12 is a high-impact 12" powered subwoofer built for listeners who want deep, room-filling bass and cinematic dynamics. Its 12-inch front-firing driver is driven by a Class AB amplifier with 850 W dynamic and 350 W RMS power, delivering substantial low-frequency output while retaining the speed and control expected from Velodyne. A sealed MDF enclosure with a thick 52 mm front baffle, dual ferrite magnet motor and robust 2.5" voice coil work together to minimize distortion and maintain accuracy even at higher volumes.
With flexible crossover, phase and level controls plus high-quality RCA and high-level connections, the Deep Blue 12 can anchor larger living rooms and dedicated home theaters alike. It reaches deep into the bass range while remaining tunable enough to integrate seamlessly with both compact and full-range main speakers.
