DD Series: DD-10, DD-12, DD-15, DD-18

 The industry's first microprocessor-controlled, all-digital, High Gain Servo™ controlled subwoofers with patent pending room equalization system.

Velodyne has achieved digital perfection with the Digital Drive Series subwoofers. The series consists of 4 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).

The Digital Drive Series features Velodyne’s revolutionary Digital Drive room management technology that takes subwoofer room equalization to a new level. This latest Velodyne innovation allows the subwoofers frequency response in any room to be measured and digitally corrected in real-time using a supplied microphone, and stored in the units memory to assure ideal performance in the consumers listening area.

Room Management Technology: Digital Drive™

Placement of the subwoofer is an important factor in achieving optimal subwoofer performance. The Digital Drive technology allows you to actually see the response for any sub location and listening position you prefer. If your room placement options are limited, you can be sure that the location that is chosen will be optimized for maximum performance.

DD Series: Mother Board
This latest Velodyne innovation allows the subwoofer’s frequency response to be measured using a calibrated microphone and viewed graphically on any standard TV or monitor. The on board 8-band digital graphic/parametric equalizer can be used to optimize the subwoofer’s performance for any position in any room.

The Digital Drive technology also offers complete control over crossovers (subsonic and low-pass) slopes, phase and polarity which allows perfect matching of the subwoofer to any speakers in the room.

All Digital Drive subwoofers come complete with a microphone, cables and remote.

Dual Tandem Voice Coils and Kevlar Reinforced Cones

 
DD Series: Voice Coil
The drivers used in the Digital Drive series provide extremely high power handling with less than half the distortion of conventional designs. (1250 watts RMS, 3000 watts Peak).  These innovations centre on the driver’s revolutionary Dual Tandem Voice Coil, which is 3” in diameter and over 6” in length, ensuring over 1 – 1/4 “ of excursion.

The huge magnet structure (690 oz.) and 2-layer aluminum clad copper wire provides high power handling capacity and linear motion. All DD drivers feature incredibly light, stiff low resonance Kevlar-reinforced cones, custom designed variable thickness EPDM surrounds and die-cast aluminium baskets.
