Video Review:
THE DIGITAL DRIVE PLUS SUBWOOFERS ARE THE PINNACLES OF ALMOST THREE DECADES OF VELODYNE SUBWOOFER ENGINEERING EXPERTISE.
Fast, accurate, and elegant, the Digital Drive Plus series features Digital High-gain Servo control, which monitors and controls cone motion nearly 16,000 times per second, keeping distortion below 0.5%. The Energy Recovery System amplifier is over 95% efficient, dedicating nearly all of its power to bass reproduction with virtually no energy wasted as heat, adding to the sub’s long lifespan.
All subwoofer models of the Digital Drive Plus series have a huge 1250 Watts RMS, and a 3000 Watts Dynamic power amplifier. It's cutting-edge, highly sophisticated, 8-band Auto-EQ Plus technology assures not just low distortion but the most accurate bass available from any subwoofer available in the market today. With Auto-EQ Plus, it’s never been so easy to seamlessly blend your subwoofer’s performance with your system and your room. Quite simply, the Digital Drive Plus series subwoofers are the biggest, baddest, cleanest, hardest-hitting subwoofers in the world today.
They are capable of a staggering amount of output; at up to 115 dB maximum - it’s 5 dB louder than a sonic boom! Needless to say, they also get low—way, way low, with a frequency response between up to 14.4 and 120 Hz at 3 dB down. You can calibrate the subwoofer’s response automatically or manually with the 8-band parametric equalizer with on-screen graphics, or computer readout using the front-mounted USB port. You can even adjust the degree of control by the digital servo.
The Digital Drive Plus series perfectly meshes audio engineering with the art of design with a huge 1250 Watts RMS, 3000 Watts Dynamic, power amplifier, reproducing even the most challenging audio for applications from music to home theatre to gaming. Unleash the authoritative power of the Digital Drive Plus subwoofers on your largest listening spaces and sink into the aural experience of over 99.5% accurate bass reproduction with unbelievable muscle, perfectly optimized by the 8-band Auto-EQPLUS equalizer feature and remote-controlled presets to ensure you get the most out of your new audio equipment.
