Velodyne Impact X 10

Impact X 10: 10-inch active bass-reflex subwoofer

An active subwoofer from the Impact X series, with a 10" front-firing driver and a bass-reflex vent placed underneath or at the back of the cabinet. The cabinet is 20 mm MDF, with a dimmable display.

Amplification and controls

The class D amplifier includes a circuit that limits distortion when it is driven hard. Four DSP presets, recalled from the remote control, adapt the response to the programme and the room; the low-pass crossover is adjustable from 50 to 180 Hz and phase is 0/180°. Stereo/LFE RCA and high-level inputs, RCA output.

Connecting it to the system

It connects to the subwoofer (LFE) output of a home cinema receiver or, in a stereo system, to the line outputs of the preamplifier or to the speaker terminals through the high-level input. With automatic power-on it wakes up by itself when a signal arrives and goes back to standby when the music stops.
