CEDIA 2011: Velodyne Cranks Out its EQ-MAX Line

This morning Velodyne is expected to introduce its line of EQ-Max subwoofers, which range from 8-inch to 15-inch models. The announcement will be made at the CEDIA Expo in Indianapolis.

Velodyne’s EQ-Max line features remote control operation and built-in processing. The new models combine a rich feature set and advanced technologies to deliver high-performance bass without the complications of system calibration.

A digitally-controlled five-band equalizer makes it easy to integrate EQ-Max subwoofers. Place the subwoofer into its location, place the included microphone in the desired listening area, and push the remote control “EQ” button. That’s it. The EQ-Max remote control also enables users to control all the subwoofer’s functions with visible feedback on the front panel of the subwoofer.

Velodyne’s newly-designed, efficient digital Class D amplifiers are a good integration to the EQ-Max line. The Class D amplifiers drastically reduce the issue of wasting energy as heat, keeping bass peaks clean and dynamic. Four custom-designed “Extended Excursion” drivers engineered with vented pole-pieces increase power handling and assure long-term reliability and performance. Velodyne also built in a unique Distortion Limiting System, which provides superior sound performance. With digital precision, the subwoofer achieves maximum output from both the amplifier and woofer motor construction without the risk of overdriving, resulting in deeper bass extension, bigger impact, and less distortion.

The EQ-Max line will be available later this month for a price range of $479-$979 each. Find more information at Velodyne‘s website.
